Definitely agree on the corroded contacts.

If there are a lot of crappy, electrical tape covered splices in the cables, though, my bet is more than one of them are just twisted wires with tape on them. I think that I'd start with some good auto grade heat shrink and a soldering iron, by redoing every one of those splices. Even if they aren't solder free, you can just bet that some are cold joints that have likely let go, by now.
