I think it may be fixed; so satisfying to have a clean DIC on a 75k miles car.

I suspect it was the connector itself inside the car that was disconnected and cleaned as I did once....If it were the restriction in the wires as in restriction in plumbing, the restricted wire would act like a fuse and burn open unlike a plumbing restriction that would just increase the velocity of the flow through the restriction if the flow were constant which would require increase in the line pressure to compensate for the increased head loss....
