I'm wondering if this could be wise preventative maintenance thing for Ram owners. Dab some dielectric grease at the base of every pin for the TIPM connectors. It might prevent salt spray from wicking up the wires and into the pins.

Good suggestion. I do this on our ATV connectors when brand new. One machine is 14 years old, so far no electrical issues at all.

Starting to happen again. Last fall for the first time in a few years I’m using the truck as a daily driver. Over the years the wheel liner was in hard shape so I just completely cut off part of the front side not thinking anything of it. When I popped my hood tonight. The engine bay was full of salt/sand. Same with the fuse box. ‍

This is why this is happening to me. The green plug with my problems is near the open side of the fuse box underneath. So everything from the road is just shooting up into the bottom of the box.
Looks like I need a new wheel liner lol. I cause myself some headaches sometimes.

In my opinion after inspecting the area around the TIPM has a bad design flaw the bottom plug location is exposed to the elements you can see right down to the wheel well I'm gonna make a shield underneath for my 2016 Ram 2500 to stop the moisture and salt from reaching the TIPM connector plugs.

Yes. I after the last repair I pushed a rag down there lol. But a shield of some sort would be better
