Marc; How interesting that I should have a repeat of this problem myself this morning after trying to help you out! The cyan cart no less...but it may have given me a new option for you to try: at the end of the cart were the spring-clip is, wedge something springy between the body and the spring clip so as to push the cart tighter against the contacts. It worked for me, I hope it works for you.
