The wires for my ABS system have seen better days. The plugs are brittle and almost crumble when I try to connect or disconnect them. On top of that a rat or mouse has made a meal of at least one of the sections. Can a new harness be built from scratch to replace or is there something specific about the casing/wiring that specifically was designed into the system? I've honestly searched and found very little info on the subject, but have seen mention specific resistance is needed for the system to work?

ABS harness repair or replacement?

There probably are, but if your crash sensors (orange boxes) have leaked out black goo they're probably toast.
Some of the harness parts/sensors may still be available, but at a price point that makes no sense for all but the very best E30s.

Reading comprehension just isn't my thing. I realized you were pointing out that the orange connectors and boxes were SRS and I failed to comprehend that. I have now removed those boxes, harness, and now the orange box under the dash as I plan to replace the steering wheel with a non airbag sporting something or other.
As for replacing any chewed ABS wires, I still don't know if I will be able to fix what I've got without effecting the system? I'll look around and see if I can find a full harness, but I really don't want to spend a ton of cash at the moment on it.

I'm ditching the SRS stuff, but interested in the ABS wires. Are the plugs brittle at all?
