I noticed in one of the above responses that a poster claimed that the head gasket had been redesigned. Is that a fact or is it an assumption. Are head gaskets that have been recently replaced holding up any better? Is this a failure that is determined by mileage or is it time related or both? Is the wiring harness been redesigned to eliminate the problem? Is there a way to repair the wire harness or do you have to replace it? Can a person with average mechanical abilities do the wire harness job or is it involved and require special tools? I have/had a problem with the directional lights not working and found the problem in the fuse box, but was never able to locate the exact source of the loose wire. I found that if I put tension under the fuse box with a piece of cardboard that they would work properly. It has had that "solution" in place for 3 years now since I found it easier than tearing half the car apart to locate whatever was loose. I call this my quick and easy fix to a difficult problem.
