I had a couple connectors in my van fail this way most pain in the butt ones are the grounds under the dash going to the round connector ring. Those on my 87 that are still clean and not showing being corroded at all. Well,they broke when I squeezed them lightly to hold onto the ground ring better. There is no slack in any of these wires either. Some already barely make it there. The ones that had two wires in one connector ended up being two seperate wires now. B. |
