The car has been parked for 8 years, but at the 6-year mark, someone diagnosed the issue in a forum as a faulty light module, which was also causing my problem. Now, as I prepare the car for its first start in years, I realize that replacing the cable is not as straightforward as it is in most vehicles. I'm seeking any pointers or advice on this matter.
