Yep, that could be the problem, but it is unlikely that the connector 
came off the sensor. Maybe the insulation melted somewhere and the sensor 
is also now connected to "ground"? That would do it too. 

Mine does something funky: whenever the car is not driven for >2 weeks, 
the LED keeps flashing for about 3-4 minutes after I drive the car. After 
about 2-3 days of regular driving, it reverts back to the normal behavior 
of flashing a few times and then stopping.
