[OM] T32 and OM2n - not consistent TTL

Help,
I am having a time getting my T-32 to consistently work with my OM2n.
Sometimes it works, then the next time it just empties the capacitors (and
overexposes). Here is what I am doing, use, etc.
1. (2) OM2n's with type 4 adapter/Shoe 4, T-32 (2 different ones), T-20,
Bounce Grip 2, TTL cables, Winder2. 
2. Both bodies were just serviced. (Camtech)
3. New batteries in everything
4. Sometimes the flash will TTL correctly, sometimes it will just dump
everything. Distances from 5' to 15' Film ASA200. There shouldn't be any
problem on being too far away, I even just tried a close up shot. It just
emptied the flash.
5. If I reseat the plugs, it sometimes works. Sometimes if I take the shoe
off and put it back on, sometimes not.
Do I need to clean the contacts somehow? Possibly a circuit cleaner spray
(non-residual) might work, but I really don't want to damage anything, so
I'm asking the experts if you have ever had this problem and what can be
done?
I've had these cameras since new and this has been a long term problem. I
only just recently found this list. 
Thanks in advance for your help,  
Dick Daggett
