Fisker Ocean - Waterproof Rear Bumper Connectors

Today I will remove the rear bumper to access wiring connectors that I need to waterproof. If there is corrosion in the connector, clean out with electrical cleaner and brass brush. If just wet, use canned air or air compressor to remove any moisture. Then wrap with silicone or butyl tape. Finish with wire loom tape. Extreme damage may require the replacement of the connector or direct wire. Feel free to play at 1.25-1.5X.
