It’s started to rear it’s head in my 04 BMW where a ribbon cable was used for the driver’s side mirror. That ribbon cable is part of the network that controls my passenger side mirror. The ribbon cable is broken so I had to pull the fuse for my passenger side mirror or it wants to point itself at the ground which is it’s position for reversing.

I am far removed from an electronics wizard. The biggest issue was a component that look funny. I un-soldered and took it to an electronics (remember those) and they found me the same part. I have forgotten what they called it.
Just this week, I replaced the cruise control module. It is hidden up under the dash and I had to play Gumby to get to it, and remove the old one and put in a new one I found on-line for 45 bucks.
One great thing about the G body 911s is the enthusiast market had people that repair the DME itself, and repair the cruise module, and there are new solid state DMEs on the market. That is not likely to happen for a 38 years old Kia or Toyota.
