I had the same problem with my 2001 Aztek, the cheap plastic plug overheated, and no longer made good contact, but if you wiggled the wires the A/C would work again for a while.
I looked up under the dash, and easily found the bad plug, on the side of the round fan assembly, simply by wiggling the wires with the key ON.I unplugged it, and put a little dab of RTV/Silcone around the outside of the plug to keep it from moving around, then plugged it back in, making sure that it was working. Once the silicon dried, I haven't had anymore problems with it losing contact.
It's a less than permanent fix, but a lot cheaper than taking it to a dealer to repair, and when I do decide to replace the bad Plug, the Silicon comes off easily, so it won't leave me with a big mess to clean up.
