FirstVolvo, I'm gonna follow my instincts and order the new harness. If I had exp. with soldering, I'd probly go for it but I think I'll have my hands full with the rest of the repair. Right now it looks like a way to save some $$ but when I'm in the middle of the job, I'll be happy to have the new harness. Thanks for the offer.
I've removed the fan shroud 2x before so if that'll give me more access, I'll pull it out again. I'm thinking of driving the car up on a stack of 2x12s on all four corners so the tires will be 3" off the pavement. This gives me enough room to changes the oils, check the angle gear so I'm hoping I'll have enough room to get at the valve body. I'm assuming using jack stands at the jacking points is a no-go since we're trying to lower the subframe?
