The Ignition switch has male pins, the connector has female or socket type pins, you can use a small flat blade screwdriver to bend the sockets so they make better contact with the male pins on the switch. I don't know which wire on the connector is the wire that heads of to the Park safety switch and then on to the TDR, but that is the wire causing the random no cranking.
