I assume the black connector in pict 5 is the one above the blue connector in the previous picture? Drivers side only or both sides?

Thanks. This seems to have worked, the car started anyway with a jump.

Do the pins just pull out? I'd like to get a better contact by flaring them out. I tried going down from the back with a probe but that didn't work.

Thank you very much for your help!

I'm having the same problems as Jake The Snake except I know my issue is coming from the driver's side buttons cluster as I replaced it about two months ago and began having this issue. Thought it was just not connected well but then a month later it did it again yesterday.

What 5th pic are you referring to? I only see one picture on that thread.

When I initially looked at the thread, there was only one picture.

8Vette7, thanks again for your help. The car has been working but I will open both connectors up again and try to make the connections better. When I worked on the car on Saturday it was in my office parking lot and had been snowing most of the morning, not the best conditions. The car is scheduled to go into winter storage on the 28th, weather permitting.

I still would like to know if the wires will pull out the back of the connector to straighten the contacts or just replace the connector?
