Dozer abruptly stopped on its own causing the operator's upper body to move in a forward while the lap belt held the lower body in the seat. The operator then experienced pain in back with numbness and tingling. Contributing fact was a loose wire at the bottom of the connector and an internal locking tab failure within the connector, allowing the wire to back out.
