What is the best method for cleaning all of the electrical contacts??
The solderless terminals could use some cleaning as well as all of the fuse contact posts. |

Worked at a computer company (in a past life) and asked this materials engineer (whose specialty was connectors) what to use. He recommended contact cleaner. In extreme cases (green connectors) he said a little rubbing with an eraser might work. (Followed by more contact cleaner)
He also recommended dipping the connectors in baby oil after treatment to keep oxygen from them. In a pinch, I have been known to use brake cleaner instead of contact cleaner and toothpaste for a mild abrasive. The absolute best fix was swapping out that ugly wiring harness for the pristine one from the parts car. I sure don't want to do that again.
