Problems with 1986 Van dual tank system

I have problems with the front tank on my 1986 Ford van, 302 EFI. It runs fine on the rear tank. When switched to the front tank, it runs fine for a short while then quits. If I jiggle the wires mounted on the frame, under the drivers seat, it will start again. This happens quit often upon stopping, or when it is shut off while in the front tank position, then won't start until I jiggle the wires with the ignition shut off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Clean the connections on the fuel divertor.
They usually get corroded and fail.

Thanks Mil1ion, I've already cleaned the contacts and checked the wires for wear, shorting out, and breaks. I would appreciate any other suggestions.
