NEVER NEVER NEVER touch those contacts with ANYTHING abrasive, especially not sandpaper. They are gold plated and you will remove the plating and have corrosion problems forever.
There are 2 contacts, one is gate and one is CV. your gate contact is connecting, your CV contact is not. You need to clean the CV rail, a cotton bud with Deoxit will do, or a SOFT white pencil eraser used gently. NOT an abrasive ink eraser, a soft pencil eraser if the tarnish is too bad. Do not try and clean the J wires, only the contact rail.
The Odyssey 3 has a removable panel for access to the contacts, earlier Odysseys need the bottom of the machine removed.
The gold plating on those contact rails is micron thin, DO not scrape, scratch or abrade it. try and use only a cotton tip with deoxit or alcohol. Only if the tarnish is not removed then use an eraser.
