I remember watching a Formula One race years ago when a car came
limping into the pits in the rain. The mechanics jumped out with cans
of WD40 and hosed down the electrical system with it, and the car took
off and ran fine after that.

Just remember that WD40 is a solvent, not a lubricant, and you'll be OK.
