I don't see how conductive grease will solve or prevent any
problem.  At least a quick Google didn't tell me the stuff
is used in this type application.  Auto manufacturers don't
do it in the engine room or even under the car, at least in
the many that I've pulled.  Use too much of that stuff, and
heat might make it run and short out.

One could use silicone RTV where necessary to seal up the
connector to the regulator, to keep out moisture.  Or a
nonconductive grease, as came with a trailer hitch
electrical kit I bought once.
