Default cleaning contacts

I may have to clean the 3 contacts coming from the pcu and am not sure what to use. I know they are very sensative. Truck wouldn't start so unplugged them, plugged them back in and presto it started. Doesn't always start so thought to clean the contacts.

Then get some dielectric grease (at same auto parts store) to put on the contacts to keep them clean, and keep water, dirt/dust, and corrosion out.

Well cleaned the contacts, motor started right up. Left it for 30 min and no deal, it wouldn't start. So guess I will have to purchase the pcm. Figured as much with my luck. My well went dry, my mower won't start, okay are we having fun yet?
Thanks for all your help guys, sure appreciate it.
