Yeah,the fittings is what I cleaned the first time.When I pulled the wire off,I stripped the insulation all the way off,and sure enough,it was corroded all the way through.It feels great to just get in my car and start it!

electricity is a strange thing and I don't trust something I can't see!!! I'm much more mechanically oriented and can do just enough electrical work to get by on sometimes! LOL
Glad you got things under control now!

Also, along these lines. My 1992 was doing same thing. Inside the plastic covers on steering behind the steering wheel there is a gray wire with a large connectore/coupler. The snaps age, dry-out and the coupling looses contact. Obviously to replace this main harness would be a pain. Super-glued area where clips failed and used very small cable-ties pulled tight on harness connection. never has been a problem again and that was years ago.
