It is constantly recommended to blow our the connections with compressed air.
Good luck. What year?

I have a 97 and a 98 pace car. Love them both. The TAC may eventually need to be replaced. I have ordered mine from vettenuts and will install when it arrives. The rumor is that the 97 and 98 TAC are not made well. They changed them in 99 and so the newer ones solve problems. I was able to do as you are doing, but eventually it gave up the ghost on the 97. Good luck and the forum is the greatest.
