When F O/S wheel off I cleaned up some corrosion behind a joint box. Road gravel collecting over time. Had a look on wiring drawings to check what the heavy Blue wire is, but could not locate. The nut wont come off, so cleaned up and used ACF-50.

The cover “clips” on, but lid doesn’t fit great. Fitted tie wrap. May be worth checking if you have similar poor fitting lid.
When re-fitting is used small spacer to stand off the plastic box to allow the small gravel and water to run off behind the box.

Common problem, there are threads on here about it. Yours doesn’t look as bad as some others. I put a small piece of foam at the back to prevent gravel etc getting in whilst still allowing water to escape.
