Good question, but I think it will require a tech to signal trace.

If you wish to send the chassis only to the factory for repair, our address is;
Peavey Service Center
710 A Street
Meridian, MS

Please include a copy of this note. Send the chassis, the reverb pan and harness. We'll take care of it for you.

As Mike Brown has suggested, HARD WIRING will definitely rid the intermittent problems of the Molex connectors. HOWEVER, if you wish to retain the flexibility of having removable connectors, the trick is to replace the TIN pins with GOLD ones. They make MUCH better connections. You will Have to retain the plastic connector housing, as they don't make those five-pin ones anymore. Remove the cable pins with an extractor tool(https://www.amazon.com/Connector-Remover-Computer-Extractor-Sleeving/dp/B0094MIS9U/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Molex+connector+removal+tool&qid=1552422401&s=gateway&sr=8-2) and replace with gold pins from Mouser:
Gold Molex Pins, Male Cable 0.093 P/N 02-09-6106
Gold Molex Pins, Female Cable 0.093 P/N 02-09-5106
Then unsolder the pins on the PC board and replace with new gold ones:
Gold Molex Pins, Male PC Tail 0.093 P/N 02-09-6132
Gold Molex Pins, Female PC Tail 0.093 P/N 02-09-5132
I don't recall offhand the exact combination of number of male/female/cable/PC pins required, but it should be easily determined.

I found new 5 pin molex connectors on Ebay.
I could only find gold MALE pins. No gold FEMALE pins which is what you need. Maybe the product # above will yield better luck

For best conduction, you need to replace BOTH sides of the mating pins with gold ones.
