There is a connector at the front left corner of your engine bay, if you have to service it removing the air filter box assists access. The connector is hidden right down in the corner and is a high probability area for corrosion and electrical shorts, melt down, and gremlins. Several wires in this connector, I respliced all seperatly and tossed the connector. Well worth having a look.
