1989-1993 240 Central Lock Switch 3540135 / 1347547 Assembly 200 1991

The wires are silicone insulated high strand count intended to survive flexing. The same wire was used in the 245 tailgate hinge harness, the wiring to the M47 reverse light switch, the AW-70 overdrive solenoid, and the 86+ vehicle speed sensor. In other words, anywhere the wiring needs to bridge two points that move with respect to each other. They don't survive.

Most folks coat the central locking switch wires with liquid electrical tape.

For not much money, you can unplug the connector above your left knee to disable the lock switches and replace the function with keyless entry. Here's my story:

If you don't do something to fix this reliably, you'll wind up with a dead battery.
