Gear indicator, as ignition sensors, has very low amps currents in the wires. So low currents in the connectors. Except gold plated connectors (found in planes, satellites and high end cars, like some german, Rolls Royce, ...), normal connectors oxydise with time. The only thing which can prevent oxydising is high currents, because if any micron size oxyde layer is created, it is destroyed by the electrical micro discharges which maintain the contact. With only milliamps currents, high impedance receptors, no micro discharges, and oxyde layers can develop.
Just disconnect your connectors, apply some contact cleaning spray, use an old toothbrush to brush the contacts, reconnect, disconnect, reconnect (two or three times). It's done for some years.
