1) I wasn't randomly unplugging wires. I was checking all of the connections from the wheels in, when I pulled my arm out after checking the connection behind the Wire harness connector, my watch caught it, and lifted it slightly. A large connection with a lever designed to make unplugging it easy should have a strong retainer. It looks like a previous owner may have snapped it off, it may have been too weak. I put a band of heat shrink around it to prevent future problems.
2) I am not driving on bald tires. This car has been parked for nearly two years, with the exception of driving it 6 miles to work every few months. I bought a lemon.
