Blower motor connector issue
So im having a very annoying issue with my blower motor connector, It is plugged in all the way but i keep having to move it or poke it around to make it work. The wires on the plug going into the motor itself arent broken or loose but when i plug it in it doesnt work until i move the plug around. So i eventually zip tied it so it stays on but i wanna fix it. Very annoying when its cold and boop it turns off and need to open the hood and move it around till it works again.

i can move the whole thing when its connected but if i keep pressure on any of the sides on the plug it will work perfectly fine. I can get a better idea of whats going on if i can see in there but its in a very hard spot to see.

Although shape of your plug will be different, had same symptoms on my 89.
Yes frustrating.
Cut off the stock plug connections and about 1/4" of wire. Crimped individual male / female connectors onto the wires.
Connected. No more problems for the last 100K km.
Was bad wire connection within the stock plug.

Peep's advice sounds good.
I was going to suggest putting some di-electric grease in the plug and then seeing if you can order a new plug or hit the JY for a replacement.
