use some QD electrical spray by CRC. find it at pep girls. use an eraser to clean-up the contacts (rub till shiny)

went and got it, also got some gorilla glue for the handle knob thing and the switch seems to be working fine. i went to the hampton tunnel to test it out and it was hard to see but i think they work now. when i was in the tunnel, this vette came up and slowed down, then he went in like 2nd or 3 and i couldn't here anything else in the tunnel. it was insane... then there was like 8 hondas from civics to an s2000, and some crazy awesome pickup. i cruised with them for a bit and i am kinda juiced about this meet on sat. its gonna kick ass!

PS: i bought a big can of that electric contact cleaner because i think i might need to use it alot haha. also i got the k & n stock air filter. i will install it tomarrow. ty for those parts sir
