Fletch,
I've only had mine for 7 or 8 months. Luckily, it was pretty sound - but I still have some work to do. My siren box doesn't work, I have a leak in my pump drain, and my primer pump is weak. But, it drives, and the kids like it! But I know where you're at. I spend many weekend rewiring headlights, tail lights, turn signals, etc. The biggest thing I've noticed is that the ground needs to be very strong. Make sure to sand the back of the lights, and the frame where they touch. If both surfaces aren't completely clean, it won't work at all...
Good luck, and have fun!
