Default Interior fuse block

I was having alot of weird unexplained electrical problems, then I noticed there was alot of corrosion built up on my fuse box and connectors. So yesterday I took it all apart cleaned it with electric parts cleaner and dielectric greased everything even changed all of the fuses and now now gauges, no radio, one headlight works, no interior lights just to name a few problems looks like I did more damage trying to clean it.

Sure you didn't use any of that brake cleaner on it that is pictured?
Spraying anything on that would more likely than not screw it up even more than the corrosion, especially if brake cleaner was used. I'd get a new one or attempt to grab a clean one from a donor.
