The wires on mine were fine, it was the plug that was damaged. You'll have to look at yours to see. Just jiggling that plug may be enough. It won't hurt to disassemble and clean the block and plugs with electrical cleaner then put it back together with plenty of dielectric grease. Another possibility is the ignition switch itself. Easily tested with a multimeter. I took pics of my fuseblock when I cleaned it and posted them on my blog. http://www.kylemunz.com/nighthawk/?p=166
