I Jiggled ( the plug not me) and you were right. After looking at the plug I can see the problem, it pushes the other spade out of the other side when connecting. I have it working now ,but think I will also replace with a different connection later. THanks for the help

The ol' jiggle test never fails. Bob, shall we split the fee based on my drive-by consult?  |

Before you invest in another connection type device, try to push the pin into the plastic connection. There are little "spurs" which will lock in (and require a small tube type device to unlock) if pushed in all the way.

And your advice is worth every penny too. 
I think around chassis 600 we changed to a spade-type connector to the fans. No more pins. Although the male spades were also retained by a tang... |

No, my experience with the females in my life is not to "retain them" but rather to "restrain them".
The choice of words was intentional, so roll your eyes back into your head.
