Expert Reply:
What you can use to clean up the pins on a trailer connector is a wire brush or battery terminal cleaner like # DW00254. You will also want to check the backs of the plugs where the wires connect because corrosion can build up there too.
Once you have cleaned up the pins and verified that everything is working, I recommend using some dielectric grease, # 11755, in between electrical connections to resist moisture and corrosion.
