If the connector housing is not burnt or damaged, then I suggest that you try appling more crimp tension to the tabs of the female terminal inside the connector so that the male terminal makes better connection when the two connector are joined. With the aid of a multimeter set on ohms will help show up which terminals are not making good contact. One lead of the multimeter to either side of the joined connector. Note the wire color connected to that terminal.
Removing the female terminal from the connector is tricky and should be done one terminal at a time or you could end up with the terminals in wrong contact positions on the connector. The female terminal has a small tab in the center that prevents the terminal from sliding out of the connector casing when the two connectors are plug together. This tab has to be bent clear to allow the physical terminal to slip free of the connector housing and bent back later to allow it to lock into place.
It is slow work to remove each terminal to apply additional tension. A good light on the subject helps.
