@wpoll - Much thanks!

Your description of the MID completely fits our experience.

We have reattached the connector many times. It works just like the door button connectors and am very familiar with those. My comment though is when I removed the MID connector it was more difficult/tight than I expected after unlocking the cam lock.

Does the MID light up at all = NO ... but on the several attempts at reconnection (and some wire jiggling) we saw various items like a little red light below the power button (which is suspect is nighttime illumination) come on, the info display lit briefly for a few seconds during a third or fourth reconnection then died. A light may have lit for a fraction of a second around the audio button on the right but I wouldn't swear to it.

I strongly suspect a bad wire. I am fearful though of probing the connector in ignorance and making things worse but not worried if I would find a test procedure.

Do you know if the connector can be disassembled or replaced?
