Bed Preheat error

(EDIT: This is a MK2S.)

I'm getting a PREHEAT error that looks to have something to with the wiring to the bed. All the connections in the Rambo box are solidly connected. The issue can best be seen where the wires connect to the bed itself. With the correct pressure, the red light comes on and the bed starts to heat up (and the LCD screen shows the heat increase). In the wrong position, the red light goes off and the heating stops.

In the video below you'll see that it looks like the issue is with the 2 bigger red/black wires (or their connection to the bed). By wiggling them a bit I can make the light go on or off. If I just wiggle the smaller black wire that goes underneath the bed nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Hi Sarkis,
have a look at this thread

I know it's actually a mk2, but the issue is the same on a mk2
