What Dick mentioned is entirely true in my experience, but I might add
that the condition should be corrected promptly. The fact that the
connector is loose also says that there is a marginal electrical contact
that is prone to arcing and heating, and in the extreme could cause a
fire to develop. For your own safety as well as the health of your K3,
correct it promptly.

Morning, Don.....
I had the same problem.
I had not installed the clips properly in the connector. By this, I mean
that I had not pushed the metal clips far enuff forward for them to "snap"
into a locked position. Because of this, they would cause the connector to
disengage with the slightest movement of the radio.
Look at the assy manual very carefully with the connector in hand.
I believe you'll see this is your problem.
Good luck.
