Replacement brains do not include the wiring harness. The best way to
fix loose connectors is to use a sewing needle to carefully remove
the translucent plastic connector body from the connector pins and
GENTLY squeeze the lug closed a tiny bit. Then reassemble the parts
into the connector body.

Without this connection your AT will not "kick down" that means that
when you floor it it will not shift down an extra gear for more
torque. You cannot do anything with the car standing still that will
test this.
