if ti is green use contack cleaner and some thign to scarpe it wiht liek a small flat blade screw driver remmber to add in eletrical greas as well so ti wonte happen again

 

[Strannik]

use fine sand paper

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Ill give some 1500 grit a shove in there. Then if that fails Ill go screwdriver. I have some electrical parts cleaner I think.. Gotta look. Thanks guys.

They're called picks.

A good mechanic has a few.

 

[Sl1dewaysSupra]

If not I would try a very small amount of carb or contact cleaner and a small soft type wire brush, like the ones they give you to clean in between braces.

 

[Sl1dewaysSupra]

Oh, is it corodied(SP?) or just dirt and stuff?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Hmmm it works better but most of the contact is being made where i cant get a screwdriver. Ill have to see if I have any picks cause that would work great.

Its semi - corroded.

 

[Strannik]

is replacing it not an option?

 

[Sl1dewaysSupra]

Contact cleaner and picks like ^ they said.

well if the plug looks like that hen the wire will be corred as well so then you will have to dip the wire in acid in order to re soder it cause if you crimp it it might fail over time


so clean it best you cna use greash you never ahve issue again as long as you add greas

eletrical greas

worst case scenario,cut the dam things off and replace them with a better set from a junker!

 

[johnathan1]

yea, clean them with a little screwdriver and some carb cleaner...then you could also take some needle-nose pliers and bend the contacts together for a better connection. Mine would work intermittently until I bent them together a little..

You may be better off, pulling the pins out of the plug (very carefully) if you can and then cleaning them that way. Then just push them back in.

Snag one off a junkyard car and splice?

 

[Allan_MA70]

buy new pins and re-pin the connector

 

[johnathan1]

Where can one get new pins?
