How and where to pull plug / power to the VMS?
Now thinking about it, its the VMS not VDS I need to reboot.
**Moderators, please update the title to reflect "VMS" not "VDS".
Need to reboot the VMS computer on my 1.5 by pulling the power to it (harness connector) since my USB stick fails to be recognized. Getting an error USB stick failure on all the sticks I used in the past.
When I took it into Tesla they rebooted it without me there. I asked how its done and they pointed to the center console (in front of the usb plug) that there's a connection there on the top that's pulled to power cycle the VMS. I took the sides/front off that console, two plugs are there, however the module they plug into is clearly labeled as the HVAC module, not the VMS.
Any clue where the VMS box is or how I can pull power from it?
Thanks!

Ok, found it... its directly above where the passenger foot well is.
I pulled the black plug out first, then the blue plug. waited 10+ seconds, put the blue plug back in followed by the black. Note you'll be locked out of your car while the VMS reboots so be patient. I went inside the house, got my keys, hit the lock/unlock button and by that time the VMS was fully up and running. Then placed the USB stick in which is now recognized, and the VMS is successfully dumping the log file.
