Default Pod wiring maladies

I have noticed that when adjusting the pod up and down when at its lowest setting it will cut the lights, the speedometer dies and some other things cease to function. I am pretty sure this is simply just a connection or harness thats loose and when the pod is down it pus pressure on a connection and will move it enough to kill a few connections. I havent gone into it myself, but i am sure its a problem someone else has seen. Any suggestions, is it something that can be fixed without removing the wheel and pod. I dotn want to tear into it yet if thats the case as I am not ready to redo the pod to get rid of cracks.

Any suggestions?

I think there are 3 connectors each a 14-pin, I think, that connect to the back of the pod. They can be disconnected and reconnected from underneath without pulling the pod. You have to unscrew to trim plates under the pod to get good access. Just doing that may solve your problem. One connector may not have been fully seated with a click. If you pull the pod you can have a better look but maybe you won't need to. The wiring diagrams will tell you which connector is most suspect. Good luck.
