Replacing my turn signal switch to fix the loss of brake lights.

Any recommendations on lube for the two brass/copper contacts for the horn ring? Small dab of anti-seize maybe?

I actually just used a little lithium grease. Works fine and no issues.

Does dielectric grease maintain it's lubricity for years? I've never had any luck with white lithium grease. Seems like it always dries out too fast and just cakes up the parts.

A quality grease shouldn't dry out quickly, but may be something to add to your maintenance checks ever couple years.

I agree with the maintenance checks. But for something like the turn signal cam lube I don't want to pull the steering wheel every year or two to check the grease.
