Default That Schleicher canopy thing again

"Best practices" with wiring is to _never_ place a connector where it
can get
tugged at by moving cables. Immobilize the wiring on both sides of the
connector.

Special design and care should be taken when you need to flex a wire or
wire bundle.

any similar problems in a recent Schleicher?

On my 27 all the wires from the panel to the fus run through a single
multiway connector behind the panel. When the canopy goes up / down so
does the panel and the tensions on the connector change slightly. Whenever
I have experienced problems such as you describe a little switch cleaner /
lubricant sprayed onto the male / female parts of the connector has done
the trick.
