Hmmm, interersting approach. "Set it and forget it", I like that.

My experience has been that the problems mostly occur where the connector hooks into the circuit board. Replacing that with an "ordinary" connector(s) would be my first attack.

On my 1986 and 1988 244s, the left side wires are

Left tail light,
Left brake light,
Back-up light in,
Back-up light out to right side.
Fog light in,
Fog light out to right side. (Car has two rear fogs)
Left turn signal.

Right side is similar. Has different colored wires for lights on the BFWS, and only the "in" wires for the fogs and back-ups.

It would be a half-day job, with all parts on hand, but worth the effort, IMHO.

Good idea.

Regards,

Bob
