When a Bargman cable comes loose and the plug drags on the ground, the worst damage is usually experienced by the plastic body of the plug. If there is enough damage that any of the 7 individual contacts is exposed, the structure of the plug may no longer be strong enough to hold the contact in place, even if it looks OK. Each contact in the plug must mate very firmly with the matching contact in the tow vehicle half of the pair, and if there is any looseness, the contact will quickly go open or intermittent.
If this is what you are seeing, the answer to your question may be yes. Good thinking.
