The damaged sections of wiring have been replaced and the rear lighting now works perfectly – including the license plate lights and trunk cargo light, which actually haven't worked correctly since I bought the car three years ago. I still have to button things up and re-wrap the wiring where I removed the original tape, but now I know Emmett will pass inspection.  Going to try to get him back in to the shop tomorrow.

My car failed its state inspection today because of a problem with the brake lights. I'm pretty sure I've tracked down the cause. The wiring harness right at this point was attached to the trunk lid hinge.  The flexing of the harness over the years (my car is a 2000) at this point lead to the wires becoming exposed, and eventually shorting together. That shorting eventually lead to the wire sheathings melting together.

Since I have to cut out the damaged section anyway, I think I'll extend the harness just a few inches so I can reattach it to the car in a way that'll avoid a repeat of this problem in the future.

Not much to do here yet. This is the night before the event begins. Mostly it’s just vendors getting set up.
