a/c issue

My a/c will be working good one second and then it stops. I have to open the hood and wiggle the wiring harness going into the a/c motor to get it blowing again. Is it possible I need to replace the harness?

I had this exact same issue with mine last year. While I was in TN at RRE, Cory (ZIGGY) replaced the plug and about 6" of the wiring (mine was where it plugs in to the compressor) and it's been perfect ever since. JD (jdecker88) got me one off a truck at a local junk yard for a couple bucks.
