Default weird thing happened today..

so i was driving around and came to park. i notice the Front"F" light on my Cusco econ was flashing. only the front ones. so i popped the hood open and notice that driver side cusco econ motor plug that plugs to the extended wire that runs through the firewall was ripped out of the plastic plugs.
How the hell did this happen? it seems like something was pulling the wire... but i know that my wires are right against the wall. so there is no way it should be touching it...I ran the wire down from master cylinder drum and wraps around the drum. Then through driver side hole right on top of the clutch pedal. what could it be pulling it from?

As for the plug it was pretty easy to weld some wire back into the plug and it was working fine.
Also it feels like something is pulling(little vibration of something getting pulled) when i turn the steering all more than half way. But only makes the noise sometimes...So i tried to keep turning the steering wheel and check the wires and they were fine. so im kinda lost on this

Did you adjust the ride height recently? You have to remove the control boxes from the top of the struts before any adjustment, otherwise they will wrap around the strut . If they get too tight, when you turn they could pull the wire loose. I learned the hard way on this. You said you wrapped the wire around the drum? I don't recall wrapping the wire around anything.

i check the econ motor today and i could've swore the motor was facing different direction yesterday. so its might be turning on its own. but how??

also when mounting the motor, does it matter which way its facing?
