Cleaning bulkhead connectors
I just went through the bulkhead connectors on my Ramcharger a month ago. I used Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser to clean all the connections. I backed the packard terminals out one by one and cleaned them and put them back. Both sides of the bulkhead connectors. I also took my under dash harness completely out of the truck and cleaned all of those connections as well while I was testing the harness for opens and shorts. My final result was stronger ignition run current (would not easily start. Would just turn over but would not start and run) brighter headlights and dash lights. Truck used to stall coming to a stop with the headlights on. After checking the harness and cleaning all contact areas, no more stalling issues and the truck fires up easily all the time now.
I used a regular toothbrush, no wire brush needed for the cleaning. It took about 20-30 seconds to clean each one (once they were removed from the plastic connector). The result was brass that looked new. It worked great! Give this stuff a try.
