I'm going to place my money on a grounding, connector or wire problem
on something close to or connected to the ICU. It sounds like you are
losing electrical power  which is "re-connected" when you wiggle the
wires doing the disconnect re-connect the ICU dance.
It will be hard to find but start with cleaning all grounds and
connectors. If the problem persists, start wiggling wires with the
engine running to see if you can make it stop (running that is) . If
that works, replace the last wire(s) wiggled.
Good luck.
