H-Birds are indeed hyper sensitive to corrosion of the contact points of the plugs.
Most everyone here is right, this corrosion will cause a flux in voltage, and the unit will misbehave.
indeed, the fuse in the power wire is a bit finicky as well. Sometimes on sometimes off.

Try cleaning the connectors super well, then using dielectric grease around them to discourage future corrosion.

Good luck.
