 Wiring harness short
So I had a short in at the ignition switch that fried the wires on the main harness. What kind of nightmare is this to replace? Looks like a new one is $1K, or off a donor car.
If I did an engine swap, would I normally have to swap the whole wiring harness anyhow? Cause if that's the case I'll just try and get an engine and the side stuff.
Or... Someone told me they had a similar issue, and were able to trace the wires back and replace anything damaged with fresh wires. If anyone has done this, or knows of a guide to the harness so I can pull this specific part that would help.
Anyone in WA know of a mechanic willing to tackle something like this?
Uhg, I'm really bummed. Here's a pic of the location I'm talking about. Burnt wires run up as far as I can see them.
