Loom connectors - cleaning verdigris off

[BruceK]

Is there a recommended spray or means of cleaning engine loom connectors without mechanical intervention? The connectors on the engine are easy enough to get to and clean with a bit of finesse but the other end of mine are in a wiring hatch below the instrument panel and tight enough that reaching is difficult let alone using any finesse to mechanically clean them. I tried basic switch cleaner that did nothing for the verdigris but temporarily (for a month) all the instruments were accurate and I was rather smug. It has however proved to be a short term fix after that lubricant dried out.

I’ve cleaned lots green looking wires and connections with vinegar mixed with salt let it soak , then wash them off and dip in mix of baking soda and water to neutralise works great , try it honestly it works ,
vinegars not just for your chips
