Having problem with either the side board or wiring harness in that auger will stop running unless tension is put on auger wire at the board connection. Tried to order a new harness but they no longer carry them. Any thoughts? Tried to talk to a tech at USSC but no luck either.

I haven't looked at the way mine connects, but it sounds like maybe the connector at the board is loose/worn. Can you just replace that?

Just my initial thought
 
Sounds like either a bad wiring connection, or a crack in the circuit board solder. Probably the same board as mine, IIRC it should be fairly large paths and easy to touch up.
