Need help on Bose Stereo 1994

Stereo has stopped working. I have been advised that it probably is the CDM which is located in a floor compartment behind the passenger seat. I was shocked how "wet" its life must have been. (I've had this car 6 months) Lots of rust and corrosion. [IMG]C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Desktop\Vette Pics\bose cpm 03.jpg[/IMG]

NOW my question...
(any opinion about this whole process is also desired)
Note that there are wires on the corroded plugs that either "broke" or were not attached.
Is this normal or have some of the wires literally corroded to the point of breakage?

Here are some closer views.

Anybody know if these wires are supposed to be unattached?

ALSO...
I still have not solved how this area is getting wet.
Would I dear silicone under the lid, around the perimiter in hopes that I can divert the water from settling where the stereo component is?

Thanks for any help.

If you're comfortable with wiring, and since you need to rebuild the harness anyway, you might consider relocating it. I have moved mine out of that compartment in order to put an aftermarket amp in there and to gain some storage space.
