Weatherproof connectors

Dielectric grease will definitely help. If you're just having 'issues' with wire/terminal crimp corrosion, try using shrink tubing on the wire-side of the connector, but pre-fill the tube with the dielectric grease prior to shrinking it (marine wiring trick). As for the connectors themselves, cheap one, two, and three pin connector sets are available at any auto parts store.

YMMV...
