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.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
