[s-cars] Back-up Lights/Rear Fog Light Wirning Harness Issues - Repost - Any Takers? Bueller?

[Gabriel Caldwell]

I have done it.  It's quite simple.  Remove the trunk lid panel.
Disconnect everything (just unplugs) the wiring harness plugs in to.
Then disconnect on the inside of the trunk and pull through.  There are
a couple rubber water seals and a bracket on the trunk lid hinge too.
Be careful with that bracket as it is plastic and can break quite
easily.

If I don't get any responses I'm going to resurrect the cup-holder
thread.
I sware!!  Or maybe the Spider Bite Thread.  Yeah that's it!!

Well, it appears that at least MY S6 suffers from the same malady as my
old
type 44 WRT the wiring leading into the trunk.  Seems like the repeated
flexing has stressed the wire in the harness to the point that my
back-up
lights and rear fog work only intermittently and only after fiddling
with
the harness.  I would like to replace the entire harness as I fear that
a
splice in that location coupled with the unsightliness of said splice is
sub-optimal.  Actually the design is sub-optimal but...

I have yet to start dismantling things to have a looksee at the harness
and
where the connectors reside.  Has anybody had this issue and replaced
the
entire harness?  If so, I'd love to hear about your BTDTs.  Backing down
my
curved driveway with dark tint and no back-up lights makes me feel like
I
just started driving yesterday.  Quite embarrassing!!
