Thought the coils were a long shot.

My favorite is Corrosion X. I like soldered connections for this reason too. I'll do my own stress relief to get it away from the potential stiff connection at the solder joint.

Get some SP-400! If you fancy it, mask the to be treated area - then aply a thin coat (shake the can really well and repeat often...). Get over any all connectors that are suspect to moisture. It will form a thin wax like coat. Re-apply at least one more time after a couple of hours or overnight. Areas that are really in the "wet" you should apply up to 5 coats.
