Well, after reverting my original modification (which seemed to work fine for over 3 years), I've been having more problems. I thought I'd manage to repair two of the broken wires to my harness, but started to think I needed to do the same to the 3rd. Big mistake. A re-pinning tool seemed to work fine on the first go round, but now seems useless trying to get pins out. I've ended up just mangling the connector and pins and my two previous repairs broke at the pin

Does anyone know the specifics of the connector and the pins? I'm thinking I may need to just cut all the wires and start with a new connector and pins. At a minimum, I think I'll need new pins for at least the 3 ends I've screwed up.

At this point, I'd also recommend that any novice wanting to try this a) maybe think twice and b) don't use Lockitt POSI-TAP 20-22 awg taps, because they ultimately broke the wires I'd tapped into and this has caused me a lot of headaches.

Thanks
