What everyone else said but I'll include this. Clean the contacts with a clean solvent such as electrical contact cleaner. I think(??) brake parts cleaner would also work just be sure ir containd no oil. Use a strip of good grade bond paper, cut not ripped to avoid any lint. Dampen the paper and drag it between the contacts. You may need to take off a little tension to avoid pulling the paper in two. Drag thru a least twice or until the paper remains clean.
Remember the purpose of 'cleaning' is to remove the nonconductive dirt not to remove the conductive face of the contact. Ever since I was taught to properly clean relay contacts I figured 'point files' were sold by the same guy who sold the points.
