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.

Google Rid-ox to find a supplier near you.   I always have to buy  it on line
but its worth the trouble.

Hi  all.

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.

Looks  like it's designed to take a little splash of water once in a
while, but  since it supplies power to distributor low voltage side,
FI's etc. needs to  be "right", and stay "right"

I may place it in a place other than stock  location and put a box around  it.


Thanks!

Neil.
