1. Wrong section
2. the connection on the wire(s) you're wiggling is loose.

3. Is this a serious technical question? lol

If you wiggle the connection then it works I would think clearly the connector isnt holding the connection very well

It sounds like that you may need a new connector. Try to find a new one and replace it and see how that works.
We do have a GC section. Since you asked.

Or look up how to repair them. Ones you know how it's easy, hardest part will be spending the money on the tools.
