Wiggleing them back in is a temp fix you know. You need to cut the wire and reconnect them with a good clamp. Silver soldier the wires into the clamp (one clamp per wire that is the right size for wach wire) then bolt them all down to the same spot, clean the rust off before you reintall the wires.

This very well could cause a fire. A poorly grounded circuit can cause a hell of alot of heat. It can melt the copper wires, and even soften the steel if it is touching and trying to ground through some spot that the wire is exposed to.

You don't need another one of those
