I don't replace things that aren't broken just for the sake of replacing. The harness in my 66 Mustang is ten years older and no problems such as that. Wire is only as good as the insulation an if the insulation becomes compromised there will be problems. Maybe all of the people should replace the wiring harnesses in the DC-3's they're flying as those harnesses are over 80 years old for the most part.
