Unplug and plug in the connectors at both ends to reseat the connections.
You may have to reflow the solder on the header pins.

It's the female connector on the circuit boards at both ends of the harness.
A cold solder joint can develop a crack over time and cause a loss of continuity. Especially on a 30+ year old board.

The other problem area could be the high voltage board and it's connections.

The best way to troubleshoot is with the schematics and multi-meter.

Quoted from cngizbleevng:

I've got a multimeter but I'm by no means knowledgeable in how to use it. Looks like I've got a homework assignment!

You should add this to your homework assignment list:
