PB Blaster Safe near Electrical Wires?

I cracked my fusbile link assembly a couple of weeks ago (original thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-question.html) and I am going to replace the cracked piece with a new part. My question is, is it safe to use PB Blaster near electrical wires? These bolts are going to be tough to get off, and I'm looking for the best option to loosen them as painlessly as possible. Any input is appreciated.

i'd say just be careful and make sure the battery is fully disconnected before you start.

Yeah the battery will definitely be disconnected before I do anything. I don't think I have any other options besides PB Blaster, as these bolts are on there good. The reason the assembly cracked in the first place was because of the top right bolt being so damn tight. Hopefully this goes smoothly tomorrow and I get the power back to my windows/locks/air conditioning/navi!

Oil should not conduct electricity. Oil does not conduct electricity because there is no net electric charge. Oil acts as an insulator. Well at least i think so. Dont blame me cause you got electricuted. I take no responsibilites.

I usually spray wd-40 on my battery terminals to prevent corrosion. I think your fine.

If you are worried about the wiring cover it if possible. I used it on to get my O2 sensor off and haven't had any problems. I wasn't directly spraying the wiring though ...
