Unhappy Wire Connector Repair or Replace

The wire connector that plugs into my power window switch on the driver's side door must have a loose connection inside. My driver's window sometimes won't move and if I wiggle the wires attached to the connector it will work again. All the other windows work fine and I already replaced the window switch. Can these connectors be taken apart and fixed, and if they can how do you disasseble the connector? If not is there a place to get a replacement connector that I could install.

You don't mention the year of your truck. Most of the plugs on the newer ones, have the option of removing the pins. The pins push in from the back side and have a little plastic clip, for each pin, to hold the pin in place. It's possible, that the clip has let loose or the pin was never properly seated.
I'd separate the plugs and look at each pin, to see, if it is in, as far as the others.
