having issues with the hud failing to power up at secondary activation. problem seemed to begin after i removed the HUD/DIVA connection from the head, cleaned with pro gold and replaced. i used pliers to secure the connections as instructed. when the problem initially occured , i reseated that connection several times. it then began to work properly. but after the secondary powered down, the problem reoccured. replaced secondary battery with a fresh one and the hud worked fine. but the same problem again occured after power down. now i have to remove and replace secondary battery for the hud to power up...... any suggestions?

Jeff, I dont' have an answer to your problem - Sorry, but I do have a related question.

I have NEVER unscrewed the HUD cable from the head, since it's initial assembly at the beginning of my training in July/August 2007, but I've been hearing lately that I should unscrew it, clean it with Pro Gold and replace it. In light of the fact that it caused problems in your case, should I just not mess with it at this point and deal with it during the annual maintenance?
