Does any one have a good concoction for the protective coating on the computer terminals that have to be cleaned off for a chip. Not that I want to clean them or anything

Someone once stated Humiseal was the name of the product.

i think a little model car paint with a small brush would do the trick.

If you wanting to REMOVE it then use Xylene to soften/loosen the coating then humiseal thinner (521) to remove completely.

If you want to put it back (not that I would every do such a thing you know) but I'd think you could find some very high grit sandpaper ... lightly sand the connection to remove deep scratches then paint with a light grey paint.. let dry then cover with Humiseal (1b73 ap)

Of course I don't really know what Ford uses but I've been told this "looks" the exact same under a black light...




Again I myself would never do such a thing and I hope this information is used for educational purposes only..... I am not responsible for any bad things that may happen to anything or anyone that reads or tries to use ideas or thoughts presented in this post...... or something.

BLACK LIGHT!!?? They use a black light to look at the terminals to check it for tampering? Oh yea, and I’m only inquiring on this subject for educational purposes..

Remember : Pay attention to the Xylene warning label. This is coming from someone who used to haul 9000 gals. of gasoline all the time.

It glows blue under a black light but is clear in normal daylight.
