I was thinking maybe a wire came loose inside the connector itself. Reseating the cables may not work. Maybe unplug them and look inside to see if they have come loose. I ran into this a while back with my central heater. It came loose where it was crimped inside the connector and I had to solder it back on. May be a long shot tho. Dale :-) :-)
