Good thought. How did you do the repair? Twist the wires and tape them? Wire nut? Solder and tape? Shrink sleeve? Good quality crimp fitting (difficult for an amateur to do)?

Now I'm thinking that i did an inadequate job and there is a short some where in my repair. Thoughts?
There won't be a short (which would blow a fuse somewhere), but there might be an intermittent open. As this open circuit comes and goes, it would effect the operation of the jack, and would also result in intermittent or no charging. Since you seem to be experiencing both, I think you may be pointed in the right direction.
