I shouldn't need to get under there again or at least not for that relay.
I think many misunderstand the purpose of dielectric grease. It prevents the flow of electricity. Commonly used on pipes and connections to prevent electrolysis. My understanding is it goes over the connection not in it if you want a good connection.
