could be loose pin connection inside the actual connector,also maybe a chaffed wire. honestly hard to pin point without being there working on it, may have pull the loom away from wires and start lookin, you can also take the connector off of computer and look inside maybe something in there?

definetly take the connector apart, spray contact cleaner, in both the male and female ends, let it dry then reassemble. Beyond that you'll need to look at each of the battery wires and ground wires going into the connector.
