[AT] Dielectric Grease

[Mike]

For sure check the ground, I had a trailer where the blinkers wouldn't 
work. Took off the ground bolt cleaned it up took an angle grinder and 
shined up the area, and voila, back to normal. You could also take some 
electrical contact cleaner  and blast the plug and socket out to make 
sure it has accumulated a bunch of dust and crud. Then blow it out with 
air.
