I had so many problems with the ICU connections that I wouldn't even try to tell you everything I tried to get it to stay.

Yes, a new harness is one way to go if you have the time and the money.

But after trying the sleeves (what a joke) and electrical grease (made it worse) I finally just went to the junkyard and cut off the female end and spliced it onto the correct wires. $5 and about an hour install. Make sure you have the same year. Have your old one with you for comparison.

Warning. There is one wire that has an inside and an outside wire together. DO NOT let these contact each other. That one is a tough one, but can be done with some care.

Good luck.
