External harness insulation remained intact, but the insulation on the individual wires deteriorated, causing exposed wiring to contact other exposed wires, creating all sorts of abnormal performance issues.

Mine failed on my 93 W124 a couple of years after purchase (in '98) and the result was a horrible "miss" when accelerating.
