Well, it's been a long time since I've looked into it, but I just touched my
test probe against the end of one of the broken pressure switch wires and
saw voltage--which I thought was definitely strange.  I see your point and
it now makes sense.  It's given me no problems since.  Apparently this is a
common failure point with the wiring harness.
