I had a similar issue with mine a while back, running a MERF 3.2 it would intermittently switch to programming mode even when everything seemed to be wired correctly. It turned out that one of the motor connectors broke at the 90 degree bend, I didn't notice it at first because it was covered in shrink wrap. Replacing the motor connector fixed the issue completely. If you have to buy replacements, they're called 2.8mm blade connectors and they're dead cheap from any electronics supplier.

Other than that, I'd just do the normal check for worn out insulation at all points on the wire harness, though if there's a short it should activate short circuit protection rather than go into programming mode.
