What can be used as a corrosion inhibitor in vehicle electrical connectors?

BuildSpark

I recently had  to change a connection block and windscreen wiper motor controller unit on a Ford Transit Custom because of water ingress into the connector and the wiper motor controller unit.  What can be used as a corrosion inhibitor inside electrical connectors to extend the life of the connecting elements?

    The other alternative might be some of the sealing compounds they sell for joint boxes - the stuff that sets to a weak jelly - e.g. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WKMPSG170W.html which could provide a good seal in awkward shapes, but again probably needs to be kept away from the actual contacts until it's set.
