I installed the coastal EV mod a couple of months ago and it worked fine for a few weeks, then it began to intermittently not activate (without 3 beep denial). Finally last week it quit working all together, so today I took apart the dash to redo/check the connections and discovered that the entire plug had worked its way partially loose. The CC still worked, no CEL on, car functioned normally but the plug was about 1/8" from being fully in. Popped it back in and EV worked fine. Is it possible that the loose plug only lost the connection on one pin?
I've been experiencing exactly the same condition (though not a loose connection I think). It may be a startup condition, perhaps related to a high temp criteria suggested in the following thread: http://priuschat.com/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=30611 Once cool (like in the morning here), it worked fine -- as it does on most days.
