Well I put the "supposedly bad pump on my "spare prius" and it works great there. so now I have two good working pumps. Maybe the bad pump only goes out after long use? Anyways I'm just hoping the problem is solved, I constantly check my coolant tank to see the stream of the pump is nice and strong now and has been ever since I put it on. so the only way I'll be calm is when 3 months go by without incident. Because the problem surfaced approximately by one month intervals.

A little dielectric grease on the pins might help to keep things clean if it's really just a connector problem. If moisture is getting in there, it could be as simple as a little corrosion.
if it is moisture it would explain why it happened in San Fran, because the weather was terrible and rainy and humid. eh, whatever I don't care as long as it don't happen again.
