Thanks for all of the help here. I was able to fix this problem for $30. It would have cost hundreds to take it to the shop to get it fixed!

Not joking, soak it into a jar of pure acetone and shake it good. Repeat and let evaporate. That should etch out the dirt and oxidation layer off the contacts just enough that it can be re-used for a few more amps deliveries. Not for very long normally...

Still worth changing and tossing the old one in the bin

(wow $30, lucky bud)
