You can use dielectric grease on a ground or a conductive grease like Ox Guard…I would NOT use it inside low current carrying connectors like the Airbag or module circuits.

i grease (any grease) all my electrical connections. i have done a lot of testing on this and there is no change in resistivity when doing this. when you look up the electric conductance of a grease and realize how thin the layer is it will become intuitive. cleaning contacts (e.g. brake cleaner) is therefore unneccessary as well. an deoxydiser is good for old ones, though.
"dielectric" grease might be beneficial in spark plug boots, where it has the ability to form a substantial layer, but i doubt it. i use a coat of silicon grease to facilitate removal and maybe water proof the boot.
