Truth be told, I would be very hesitant to take the harnesses apart.
Surface dirt isn't going to matter to the electrons :-), and if the
insulation is brittle you'll probably end up damaging the wires.
Likely, some of the plastic ends will disintegrate on you as well.
I'm all in favor of a careful inspection, and if there are trouble
spots addressing them, but all in all I fear that if you pull things
apart you're going to be looking at a real headache getting it
back together.
