A friend had a 1990's Volvo, the first of the ones with sharper edges and 
corners. He described the wiring insulation as 'air soluble' and carried 
several spools of various color wire, cutters, shrink tube and a butane 
soldering iron in the trunk for repairs.

A note on German wiring from the early 1990's.  At that time the Green
Party came in and pushed fro higher recycling.  Many manufacturers went
with a higher recycled content in their wire insulation to meet the edict.
Mercedes Benz was one of the earliest hit by this change.  Harness in the
W124 line of vehicles in 1993-1995, were failing after 2 years in service.
The recycled content made the covering brittle with exposure to heat in the
near term and generally shorter lifetimes.  Sounds like this hit machine
parts as well from that era.
