Burninator Posted April 9, 2008 #1 Posted April 9, 2008 I need recommendation for a good contact cleaner for the large connector going to my 86 venture solenoids. I traced air suspension problems to the connector, tried a head cleaner that seemed to work but the problem came back. I don't think the cleaner did a good enough cleaning job. Does anyone know of a good way to clean those pesky contacts in the connector?
dray Posted April 9, 2008 #2 Posted April 9, 2008 any electronics store or radio shack will carry contact cleaner just ask for it
SilvrT Posted April 9, 2008 #3 Posted April 9, 2008 Chris...got your email...I'm at work but will msg U bak with the product I used this evening. FYI...I got it at an electronics supplies store...small spray can...cost appx $9 up here. They had several different kinds so I explained to the guy what I needed it for and he recommended the one I got would be best.
Squeeze Posted April 9, 2008 #4 Posted April 9, 2008 Our local electrical Guru GeorgeS recommends CRC 2-26
wizard Posted April 10, 2008 #5 Posted April 10, 2008 CRC is good stuff, several kinds for different applications, just make sure it is plastic safe. Chemtronics makes a good cleaner, but more expensive, geared for high end applications where certification is needed or desired.
SilvrT Posted April 10, 2008 #6 Posted April 10, 2008 The one I got is called "Deoxit D5" and it is safe around plastic. Made by CAIG Laboratories.
Pilot Posted April 10, 2008 #7 Posted April 10, 2008 Any auto parts store will carry contact cleaner if you can't find a Radio Shake.
Condor Posted April 10, 2008 #8 Posted April 10, 2008 Per GeorgeS' recomendation I went out and tried to find CRC 2-26, but couldn't. What I did end up with is CRC's QD Electronic Cleaner. Works good. The QD is for quick dry... Probably the same stuff???
GeorgeS Posted April 10, 2008 #9 Posted April 10, 2008 Home Depot, and Lowes should have it in Home Electrical Supply Section. Some auto parts stores carry the stuff also.
