Thought the AHRS was dying because the pitch tape kept flagging on the ground test, so I swapped the unit and it still failed. Turned out pin 14 on the J1 connector was backed out just enough to break contact when the tray got warm. Anybody got a trick for spotting pushed pins without pulling the whole harness apart?
