Turn signal Molex connector

I recently replaced my turn signal switch when I rewired my 65. The turn signals quit working so I went to investigate and I checked the molex connection and they started working, I didn't even have to unplug it. Is there anything I can use to help make a better connection at the molex connector? A spray or something? On a side note, the low beams quit working as well, I traced it back to a bad dimmer switch that I just replaced, go figure!.

Check out Caig Laboratories, they market contact cleaner "R5 Power Booster", as well as contact treatments "Deoxit" and Pro Gold", among other similar products.
If you can get to the contacts, try using a pencil's eraser, this works well to take off any tarnishing w/o abrasiveness of scotch-brite or (worse) sandpaper.

All the contact pins were new, I put some deoxit on them and pushed them together several times, I guess time will tell!
Thanks
