Sometimes, those brass connectors have a little tang on them that helps them stay in the plastic housing.  It's possible that tang may have dislodged or gotten bent.  Depending on how bad it is, you may be able to just reposition the brass part so it's secure.  The alternative is to get some solderless connectors from your hardware or auto parts store, and replace it.  If you go the crimp route, please buy a good crimping tool.  Vise-Grip (tm) or regular pliers won't do as good a job.

How about posting a picture of the connector and the wire?
