ES335 bad neck pickup - odd problem

The neck pup on my 88 Es-335 suddenly failed. If I push on the neck side of the pup , rocking it towards the neck, all is OK but as soon as I let go and it levels it goes dead; simply touching the pup cover does nothing. I suspect that a wire connection has failed and the pushing of the cover momentarily reconnects the joint. With the pup out but connected, simple fiddling with the wiring does nothing so it's got to be something to do with a very mild flex of the cover that is either reconnecting or de-grounding.

 

Before I pull the pup and remove the cover (not sure that this will help much due to potting wax) are there any words of wisdom from the pup experts?
