Dielectric grease is non-conductive; too much of it and allowing it to be on contact surfaces will cause problems. It's supposed to surround the contact to prevent oxidation. I'd clean those pins well with DeOxit and try again. I wouldn't put dielectric grease on there unless you live in some tropical rainforest. Even in SE Texas where it's stupid humid we don't generally see a lot of trouble on interior connections unless it's a flood car.
