Working on the radio/cassette deck from a 1991 240 sedan.

My radio works great on the AM but when I change it to the FM band it gets extremely quiet. If you turn the volume all the way up you can hear it but not very well.

I pulled the radio out and and if I wiggle the round plug around the volume will return but why would the round plug (I assume its the speaker input plug) work great with AM and not FM?

Is there a way to replace the plug if there is a short inside somewhere? I started to split the wire and see how many wires were inside and there are several but they are all individually wrapped with copper strands....Is it possible to re wire this? Or is it best to just replace the whole wire?

If I need to replace the whole wire/plug combo where does it lead to from the back of the radio?

Otherwise AM is fine but sometimes I get sick of hearing Rush whenever I get in the car.....LOL.
