After doing some thinking and reading, I've decided to get a rebuilt ETA.
Why? Well, because Mercedes-wedontknowanythingaboutcrappywiringharnesses-Benz used the same wiring in the ETA's as well, and I'm not going to take any chances on the ETA ruining other parts, and my ability to use the car. Nor do I feel I can trust the car, especially in an emergency situation, unless I am sure that I have replaced all the parts that might contain the sub-standard wiring MB put into an otherwise great car.

I'll let y'all know what happens after the replacement. (If any of you want to know).
