I connected the wire to the back of the control box to check the lenght and when i disconected i did not realise there is a slip collar on the wire to release the conection . I may have pulled 1 on the connection pins loose in the block.but i canot find any visible damage.

As shooter mentioned, it's very common that a socket did not lock when inserted even though it may seem as though it's been fully inserted. Check the connector by looking at its insertion side. You should see the sockets contacting the inside edge of the red plastic of the sockets you inserted--if the socket isn't against the inner surface, it won't make contact with the pin out of teh HK radio.

Another way to check if the socket locked is to gently tug on the wire. The socket may fully insert, but if it's not correctly inserted, the locking tang won't engage and the wire needs to be rotated to reorient the socket to lock.

Hope you find your problem.
