FMy cabling
After powering up the FMy satellite boxes and checking that the EE on the outside of the chamber were functioning properly (thanks, Richard), I went in the chamber to look at the in-vacu stuff.  Indeed, the cable that needed an end-to-end swap before the holiday break, had not finished making it to it's connecting octopus cable.  When I tried to seat it, I found that the 225 cable needed helicoils, preventing good connection.  We're hunting tools now to finish helicoiling these (all 3 225 cables need the helicoils) connectors.

Today I finished helicoiling and connecting the FMy cabling at the optical table.  While this eliminated a possible source of problems, it turned out the real problem was a bent pin on the air side of the feedthrough.  After straightening the bent pin, the cable was reconnected and successfully tested for functionality.

Though there was a bent pin on the Vac. flange I believe this was a result of troubleshooting and not the initial cause.  Per my directions this cable was removed and changed and replugged in a number of times in trying to narrow down the problem.
