-Unwrap all the wiring that is there. GM does a really insufficient job of protecting the wiring.
-Once you locate the pinholes all you have to do is replace the section of wire that is bad. I personally had 1 on passenger side and 5 on driver side.
-Once you do that just wrap all the wiring in GOOD electrical tape.
-I went a step further and also used plastic wire loom to protect against the wear of the rubbing.
-Then just reattach the wiring and put everything else back together.
-Problem solved!
