Looking at your wiring, I'm going to take a guess here. Do you reuse pre-made wiring from year to year? Are you interested in being able to make your own wiring?
Related comment, we use 3x1 PWM for canbus connections and electrical tape them together. No issue yet. We've also not had an issue with PWM coming out of the RIO, I suspect its the wiring you're using. I also think the issue is related to unsecured wiring. The mass of cable is probably causing the PWM headers to come off the RIO.
