One more thing Phil. decided to look in the engine bay while doing laundry this weekend and noticed that the positive battery cable wires could be seen thru the insulation bright copper/silver ish wires shown thru the cracking insulation.

Were your battery cable replaced as well?





No, my battery cables were not replaced. Mine don't have any cracking. It doesn't appear that 99M03 covers battery cables. Yours is the first I've heard of battery cable insulation breakdown.

Sadly, since it appears that yours is past the 10-years-in-service date, I wouldn't expect help from the dealer. I know other CEGers have talked about replacing the harnesses themselves, but I don't have experience in this area.
