Figure 1 - Comparison of Formed and Misformed Female Terminals:

Intermittent or open connections in these connectors may be caused by misformed female terminals. Refer to Figure 1. Misformed terminals may be identified by the foot of the terminal tongue being trapped under the core of the wire. To repair this condition replace the female terminal with terminal P/N 12047680 (available in the terminal repair kit J-38125).
