I suspect that your problem is actually inside the box. Sounds like a cold
solder joint. (common) The act of messing with the connector is just
putting stress on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and causing it to make or
break the bad connection. The little male connector blades have no
mechanical mount to the PCB other than by solder, so eventually with thermal
cycling and vibration they will fail. This is yet another example of
Peugeot's (or their suppliers) electrical engineering blunders. They design
a good circuit, but have little regard for the mechanical systems that make
the electronics work.
That connector is the same style as the "problematic" connectors under the
hood, but the underdash location is devoid of water and the other elements,
so it is reliable. (unless you somehow got water under your dash!)
Here are some pictures I took of one the units I had inside and out:
