You are asking for trouble continuing to operate it without a thorough 
inspection of the connector contacts, to make sure you do not have 
partially mating contacts, heating, arcing. You may have an intermittent 
problem now that could be easily repaired, and turn it into a major 
meltdown that will require much more work and parts cost.
