WiFi failure to scan or connect: Fix post #12

The 10 mm wrench to get every module at once and is the way.

While I agree a full reset is necessary sometimes, it isn't without a small amount of risk. Our trucks are a complex network of modules and communications. Simply pulling the plug can have unintended consequences if something is in progress when you do it. Timing is everything and the vast majority of the time, it works out ok. Sometimes it does not. For example, if you pull the 12v power at the wrong time during a module update, it can brick the module. If it is a critical module, it can brick the truck. Rare, but it does happen - then it is a trip to the dealer. I use it only as a last resort and only after giving the truck several hours to make very sure updates that may be in progress are complete or obviously hung after giving it several hours.

I do my best to avoid a cold system reboot (pull the 12v) as possible, no obvious updates were in progress, it was only a week ago now that I had an OTA, they tend to come 1+ month intervals, but there is that risk a couple could come in tight succession, with any being a silent install.
