Start simple and apply some dielectric grease to the 7-pin connection.
Why people do this is beyond comprehension.
Dielectric grease, or tune-up grease, is a silicone-based grease that repels moisture and protects electrical connections against corrosion. ... The grease does not conduct electricity, so it shouldn't be applied directly to the mating surfaces (pins and sockets) of an electrical connection
Agreed, fix the connection and then if you must, apply that junk.
But dielectric grease has never made a connection better. Nothing works better than a clean, dry connection.
I made a lot of money fixing avionics that had nothing more wrong with them than some av-tech having slathered that muck on the connections.
