Thanks again, guys. No, I didn't do anything silly with the sensor connectors. I'm still suspicious that the lightening around caused some sort of failure. I didn't try unplugging the solar panel and removing the backup battery in the ISS to "reboot" it, assuming that's even a thing. I'll talk to Davis and see what they have to say. I'm not afraid of a soldering iron, so no issues there.
