Also, we found the brake sensor connectors (big nylon cylindrical connectors on the fenders under the hood) to be crumbling. I see how to replace the outboard side running down to the calipers, but is there an easy way to replace the harness side connector? I have a parts car to rob those connectors from, or I _could_ simply use bullet connectors from the parts house if I want to be able to measure the sensor resistance without pulling the wheels. OK. I'll do that. Great idea. Thanks. Gee, you guys are smart. Now if you can only be that helpful about Q#1 above.

Connectors inside engine compartment aren't they for air bag and ABS?
