Having a connection problem w/ my GE cooktop. Model, J U655 004AD 2T831959C has controls in the face of vent?

Taking it apart, I have power to the overhead switches, down through the plug connector on the side of the cooktop. Tested all four and each pair of conductors on the male feed side work. As well, the corresponding 4 female receptcle conductors in the plug and have continuity with an element, and continuity with each side when the element is removed.





the problem is when the plug is mated and the cooktop in place, we still have no power to the small, left front element receptacle. My only thought is when things are apart, juice and continuity are OK, when mated and put into place, something moves and makes a break - doesn't sound safe.





Any ideas?
