Default Won't crank(Wiring problem)

Hey guys,

I've been having this problem that the car won't crank. Tried searching for a similar case but couldn't find one.

So basically I put the key in, crank and I just hear the relays clicking and no crank. I pop the hood, wiggle the wires and connectors next to the battery (sometimes take a couple of tries) and then it cranks and starts.

I took the battery to the trunk so I gain better access to the wires but I see no damage, no crust on the connectors, and I still can't pinpoint which it is.

Any help in identifying which it bundle/connector it would be is appreciated.

I was actually thinking it'd be starter related. The car does have headers too so I'll try to take a look in there.
Thanks guys.
