The concept of a corroded cable, these days, that hasn't been subjected to unusual conditions like submersion or salt water or certain gasses, seems silly. This isn't the iron age.. cable technology has vastly advanced from the late 1800's. If just driving around in normal weather has corroded the cable then there's a design flaw or manufacturing flaw in the cable - the wrong materials used or the wrong assembly. To know for sure, we need to know what happened to the cable though.
Exactly. What is happening to the cables, high resistance causing heat? These are not the first cars to have cables used in this way. Has this been resolved?

I just ordered a harness from suncoast which they list as being "improved", however I don't know if that is true. It may just be a part that requires replacement every few years. Mine was last replaced by the Porsche centre( via previous owner) aprox 4 years ago and it was the same part number as the one I just ordered. If they improved it....they didn't change the part number.

Yes, there have been several revisions, so best of luck and thanks for your insight. Sorry to hear it is the same part number.
Apparently it's VERY COMPLICATED, because I can't recall it happening with any of the other 8 or 9 cars including 5 911s I own. So I guess it's way over my pay grade to understand.
