By "won't restart" I meant cranks, but will not start/fire.

Okay, gotcha. Yeah, I think more wiggling is in order. It's also
possible that there is more than one bad connection in there somewhere.
Hopefully, it isn't underneath the dash! I had one that I chased for
YEARS; it finally turned out to be map light mounted just underneath the
dash overhang; when you hit just the right bump or pushed the dash just
right, the socket shorted out to ground and blew half the fuses in the
panel.

Re: 96 Grand Cherokee Stalling
Problem solved. As it turns out, it was the PCM. It got where I could
push on it or tap on it, and the engine would start to stall. I took it
to an auto electrical place, and they agreed. I ponied up for a new
factory brain for the ol' girl, and she's been humming along just fine
for days now.
I just wanted to follow up. I hate when I read other lengthy threads,
but then never get to hear what the ultimate resolution to the problem
was.
Thanks to everyone for their help. I'll know where to come next time an
issue arises that leaves me stumped.
