Is Vaseline the correct/good lubricant to use in the turn signal assembly and for the horn contact? I'm thinking of lubing as suggested, and was wondering what lubricant to use.

They do on my car! I recently had the wheel off to see on a leather cover and replace the horn ring. While things were apart, I took the already white-greased turn signal assembly and packed it with Vaseline.
