Best product I have found is a spray called Rid-ox. You spray it on the contacts and put the plugs back together. It usually works right away but sometimes it works after 15 mins but it always works. I wish I had a dollar for every time it has saved me. Wurth has a similar product too but I do not know where to get it. Steve Google Rid-ox to find a supplier near you. I always have to buy it on line but its worth the trouble.

Anyone know of a spray or paste that would help clean, and keep clean, pins and sockets on electrical connectors? Maybe a spray is best as leaving a "paste" of some kind might smoosh around and make contact where it shouldn't....... I'm cleaning as best I can, but its delicate.
