Does anyone know what this little black box is? And is it possible to clean the plug? Thanks

Can't tell from the picture if that is corrosion or just old dielectric grease. Plastic safe spray contact cleaner can take care of the latter. The former often requires something stronger or replacement.

Hard to tell from your picture, but I think that's the brake and taillight sensor:
