Emery,
One of the P.O. s had done that before but maybe got to it too late or used the wrong grease. Terminals were spotted dark green with arrested corrosion. I cleaned 'em (all the fuses giving me trouble) with several agents and compressed air and finished with brass wire brush. Scotchbrite the fuse ends and all was/is well except the blower fuse started acting up again. I have that grease you refer to and use it on horn rings (remember them?)whenever I take an old column apart. Even though it works when I use it this way, the name doesn't make sense to me for that job, since it is called dielectric, which means it is an insulator, doesn't conduct until a certain voltage breakdown. I'll be using it on there next time I go for that job. IIRC last time I noticed the upper left side terminal was loose in the box so it may still be a 50 year-old crimp behind the bakelite.
