Yes!  Yes!  RIGHT NOW go order abuot 8 of those 4-way
female bullet junction blocks, and replace every one
you can find.  For starters, there are 2 or 3 inside
the very front of the bonnet, and one or two between
the taillights.  The metal part inside those
connectors often cracks and loses all spring tension.
