I had a similiar problem on my son's 1988 744t. Those cars have a disconnect on that circuit that is fairly well hidden under the short brace off of the firewall towards the fender well. The plug is the same as the one down the line for the radio suppression relay.

The problem started as an occasional loss of power and progressed to a die in traffic no restart with a ride home on a rollback. Somehow over twenty years one of those connectors had worked loose.

The plug had broken down and simply pushing it into the companion male portion didn't make full insertion on all of the connectors.

As long as you are aware of the possibility of one or more of the connectors not being pushed on all the way you can deal with it by using something like needlenosed pliers to push each individual connector into place, but as was suggested I think the quickest way to address the problem is to find a good plug at a pick and pull.
