is this safe to use on vehicke ignition systems for waterproofing?

It is not designed for that, but for keeping the rubber that seals around the doors, trunks, and hoods from drying out by lubricating the seals. However, if you want to waterproof your ignition system then you should try a 3m sealant. I check on this with calling 3m on their products and the person in the automotive section said that only a sealant would work for what you want. If you have further inquiry's on this you can call them at (1-888-364-3577) ask to speak to the automotive product section.

the truck is waterproof however the speed controller is NOT waterproof. I've actually ran into this problem.I was just running through puddles and I short circuited my speed controller.

From my understanding the speed controller is not waterproof. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure I'd trust this to be waterproof. The screw holes would likely let water into the bottom of the stobe which is where the high voltage circuitry is.

Not a waterproof system. Why would you want to ride this or any open vehicle in the rain. I have a motorcycle. totally capable of driving in the rain. however, When it rains, I use the car.

Yes just be sure the area is very clean and degreased. I am using it for my intake gasket and also for steam engine gaskets.

I used 14 AWG stranded, because I use it as a constant fan for my truck. I also used a relay with an inline fuse to the battery for power, grounded to a good ground for power and switch ground. I attached the positive of the relay switch to a switch leg and back to a power source that is only on when the key is in the ignition at on position. check your manual or use a multimeter and test fuses that are only on with the key and off when the ignition is off. This protects your battery from drain and your electrical system from a fire. Maybe over kill but I had a vehicular fire under both gasoline and electrical (not proud of it just grateful to be alive). I hope that was of some help.

Yes, this product is water proof and is made for this type of situation. I used it on my car's water pump bolts.

Waterproof is such a powerful word. I'd stick with resistant. The port covers really don't have gaskets and such to really be waterproof.

They can be used on any vehicle and the switch is waterproof. I've had them on my motorcycle for a couple years with zero issues. Great lights.

Yes, it is recommended to use with water only actually. It is good for all engines and can be mixed with coolant or regular H2O.

I think only the manufacturer will be sure about this, but it is a marine switch. I have it mounted under the hood of my motorhome where it will see moisture--so far so good. It looks to me like it is moisture resistant but probably not suitable for being immersed in water.

This isn't a good purchase for a low idling engine. This isn't water sealed in any way. If you can seal the engine compartment from water, go for it.

It is water protected as long as it don't get hot when the engine is running it hold be ok

I wouldn't use it as a preventative since it might put particulates in the coolant I would personally use it only if there is a leak in the system

I live on a lake and fly mine off water all the time. In the first week I burned up the receiver and motor when it got very wet. Replaced the parts and treated the receiver/esc and motor with CorrosionX. That stuff is amazing. It will waterproof the components and is a good lubricant for the motor. goes on like a thin oil. Just squirt it on (try and work onto both sides of the receiver/esc board). With this treatment the plane has survived dozens of "not so good" landings on water. Re-apply every 20-30 water landings. Google the stuff, modelers swear by it.
