There are much better products to spray in those trailer connectors (plugs and receptacles) than WD-40 and silicone. A branded electrical connector spray works well. Spray it heavily, let it dry, and use the hawkeye-08 in-and-out method above to mechanically clean the contacts. Do it twice, or more if the contacts are really cruddy. DON'T use a knife or other sharp edge or sandpaper to clean the contacts, you'll just remove the thin copper coating on the contacts. Once you know the contacts are clean, a light coating of dielectric grease should take care of your problems for some time.
WD-40 would be OK to use if the connectors show evidence of moisture. That is what the purpose of WD-40 is. (WD-40 = Water Displacement formula number 40. I guess the first 39 formulas weren't as good.) Then use the contact cleaner to get that stuff out of there.
