If it's smaller contacts, you need to clean up the residue with a good contact cleaner. Larger stuff like this is no big deal at all.
I did a
write up for doing it the right way. hope that helps.
even if it is unpowered, you should still never ever spray solvent on electrical components. all the carb cleaner is not going to end up exactly where you spray it, and can lead to much more serious problems down the road.
