While cleaning the connectors seems (at first) to be the easiest
idea. It may not be the best idea. You can get very fine pipe
cleaners. I have used very fine sandpaper (1200 grit) rolled up and
inserted into the connectors.

The problem...if your connectors have issues, it is not inconceivable
that the wire adjacent to the connector is also corroded. Fixing one
without the other will simply transfer the problem (instead of melted
connectors, you will have melted wires). This is especially true if
the wires are exposed to the weather.
