Well, I tied down the connectors today. It was a good project for a snowy day.
Tomorrow I will fly it to Moab and back which is a little over 3 hours. Should see if it worked. The downside is that the route is over some of the nastiest country imaginable for a landout.
I hope it does work.

When you wire tied these I also hope you pushed them in firmly.
I'm hoping you're going to land with a smile on your face. ;)
Remember a blinking red light is a minor failure and solid red is a major one. If any one of those sensors were to literally come off (won't happen) then engine would still run.

Unbelievable. The wire tie fix worked perfectly. Three and a half hours of flight time this AM and not a blink of the Lane lights.
The reason that I was concerned was that a week ago, on the same flight the Lane B light came on solid, I diverted to fly over an airfield, cycled the ignition switch and got dead silence on the Lane B position. It quickly restarted in A+B. I landed, restarted, did an ignition check and everything seemed fine.
I took off, flew without problems for awhile, and then Lane B came on solid again. The closest field was now my destination, so I proceeded with the light on. The only problem was that that part of the flight was over Canyonlands, which is so named for a good reason. It's the kind of place you would like to have ignition redundancy.
Today, with the wire tie fix in place, no problems. So, as my Kiwi son in law would say: "all sorted".
