Glad you found it. That's a hard one.

Sometimes you will find a connector like this where one pin will just "retreat" 
into it's shell rather than push fully into/onto its mate. This can make for 
poor and intermittent connections. You can usually get around this problem by 
holding the wire while you push the connection in, or by pushing in on the wire 
afterwards. 

At any rate, it would be a good idea to check this plug sometime to make SURE 
the connectors here are actually engaged properly. Otherwise, it will just let 
you down at some bad moment.
