Tip : De-Oxit , better yet De-Oxit Gold ($ 26/ can) . A carryover from my electronics repair , this stuff ROCKS big-time for cleaning/conditioning connectors , contacts , switches , preserves exposed wire conductors . It's virtually guaranteed to give you 99% positive connection , like from the factory . Any time I work on elctrical , I detach and spray inside connectors ,plug replug 3-times , thus virtually eliminating questionable connectors , takes a lot of the mystery out of intermittant problems after it's reassembled !! Like you don't want to tear into a door , you know that PITA job , and still have doubts / problems only to tear into it again . I'll even unplug connectors (batt disconnected) in the entire area I'm working and spray this stuff . Godsend in "rust-belt".
Cars more and more have advanced / critical & sensitive electrical systems and connections can and will hide or mask your troubleshooting . Example = BMW trunklight , I pulled bulb - it ohmed 'good' & socket had good ground and 12v test-light good too, shot some De-Oxit on contacts of bulb & socket , wiped and it now lights . That bulb probly sat in that 2006 for the whole 16 years UNDISTURBED and had developed some buildup of poor connection , also a fuse in same car , 5A , had poor connection , I blasted fuse and holder - then it flowed ( I did put new fuse later though ). No SH#$%TT De-Oxit kicks AZZZZ.
