My 86SPG does have some crumbling wires. So far I chase them down, splice, solder, heat shrink, rewrap. So far so good, but I'm sure it will catch up to me. Local driver only for now. Plan to do a harness swap, but that has to take some serious time and patience.
Anyway, the 1st question is, has the root cause of deteriorating wire insulation been identified? ie...by supplier, or insulation spec, or assembly process ( I am imagining that one week in Trollhattan where the wrong cleaning agent was used in a spray bottle by the finish guy...)?
2nd question, and one I hate to ask: Will it continue over time to eat away at everything, fed by warmth, but never the less relentless ?
