I have a similar problem with the connection for the power base. I think it's in the upper plug because the upholstrey attachment clicks on but easily comes off when you try to use it. Can't seem to get any connection for the power base.

The cord at the bottom of the power head neck may be bad. But so could the plug connections in the hose handle, and the cord on the wand. Check both ends of the wand and make sure that the plug ends aren't burnt, if they are replace them and maybe the plug inside the hose handle.
