15-years is the industry "tipping point". Dealerships and the chain stores divest themselves of parts at this point (range & depth). The Internet has made it easier to find parts, but expect electrical to be a continuing problem. My first step is a high quality battery and all new primary charge and high tension cabling. New grounds second. FSM to find them all.

Heat bakes everything brittle down here . . but corrosion gets back under the wire cover from any termination an inch or more up there, too, I'd imagine.
