WD-40 can dissolve certains types of plastic tho. You'd probably be better
off using an electrical contact cleaner.
I'm a telephone man and I can tell you that to use WD-40 on a phone is to
condemn it to a slow death.

LOL! Man you want to see what it does to network cables, the clear
plastic plugs went jelly a short while after my son cleaned up the hub.
I do not believe it will harm any plastics I have seen in vehicles
though and it is a good cleaner for plugs and sockets. I think I have
seen it sprayed on most every part at one time or another....

Re: fast blinker?
Ah ha, for anyone who cares...
The contacts on the front socket were a little corroded... I cleaned them
off using an xacto knife and all is well.

Yup, we are interested, thanks for the follow up!
You can get 'spark plug boot protector' or other types of dielectric
grease to use in those places to help slow down more corrosion.
