Yikes, never use WD-40 on electrical contacts. May work for a short
time, but will gum up and attack the plastics and parts after a
while. The only thing to use on electrical contacts and connections
is Deoxit, www.deoxit.com, actually chemically improves connections
after it cleans it. Stuff is amazing and is safe on just about every
material.
Try it, you will not use anything else after you try.
