Ah I see. It looked okay, but honestly I did not look too hard. I did buy a spare pigtail just in case so I can try replacing it. Any tips to replace them?

I'd inspect the IPR harness, open the covering so you can see the wires. To the length of your pigtail. If nothing is obviously wrong I'd wrap it back up before fixing something that ain't broke.

Pics of the wires and connector would help getting second opinions.

Where did you get the new IPR? Some counterfeits out there.
