Yes! Absolutely avoid disconnecting the trailing cable on these printers if not necessary. It's very easy to blow either the carriage or main PCA by trying to plug the cables back in and the little fingers going everywhichway (technical term.) It's even worse on the 1050C model A because there's no fuse to protect the main PCA.
Even if I'm doing a belt on the 5500 or 1050Cs, I'll keep the trailing cable connected, and unfasten the trailing cable holder in the middle of the machine, and if that's not enough, the one where the cable bends and goes down through the aluminum casting, just to avoid disconnecting it.
