I have read that during this model year a great many volvo's were assembled without using dielectric grease on the connections and suffer more oxidation and failure due to this. I may have an example of this condition.

I started getting intermittent dash indication of failed bulbs and no matter how many were changed, it still continued. I discovered that the passenger tail light would work dimly for running lights and when brake and turn signal were added, all bulbs would start to blink kinda strangely. My next step was to replace the tail light circuit boards hoping that it would solve the problem and did help some, but discovered the corrosion in the connector that plugs into the circuit board. Is there a part for this from dealer or aftermarket? Is this a short extension of a wiring harness or would the entire harness need to be replaced? I am comfortable with splicing in a connector if there is one available, but having a hard time finding them from online sources, any help would be appreciated.

I will be going through all connectors and cleaning with deoxit and applying dielectric to prevent further deterioration, but in this connector in particular it looks like at least one of the posts (correct term?) in the connector has corroded completely away
