I'm not trying to step on any toes, offend anyone or start a controversy, but I'd like to know the actual facts regarding the use of WD-40 to remove moisture in electrical systems. I read many years ago that WD-40 should never be used on electrical components such as ignition systems or electronics. I also was told the same thing by two different electronic technicians.
