Dont bother, cut out the connectors on teh firewall instead and solder all connections. Will likely fix the other niggles you have had teh last few months too. Job Done. 
Worst case scenario, unplug and replug all three a few times.
DO NOT SPRAY WITH WD40 OR SIMILAR GARBAGE.

its the 3 plugs on the bulkhead above the camcover - they unplug and seperate the engine loom from the car loom, remove these plugs and replace with wire and you eliminate the electrical gremlins that they cause
