Theres a spray for electrical parts cleaning as well. They may carry it at an autoparts store. I got mine at a small electrical repair place. Its very strong and eveaporates fast. Dont get it on paint or plastic that you like

you could have inadvertently unhooked a ground. did the right side stuff work before you removed the column?

the radio can get intermittent ground thru the antenna. it could be the harness. it could also be 1 missing ground, or 3 or 4 .
