Re: need advice

Seems to me you don't have much choice in the matter. It's either that harness, or, buy a 'new' one.

Re: need advice

No freaking way unless you have a LOT of time on your hands. Almost every wire was cut taking it out. Look at the 20+ wires cut off right behind the bulkhead connector.

I forsee an aftermarket wiring harness in your future. Bring your checkbook.

Contact Pocket on here, he was building harnesses for a while and that way you'd get a harness you know will work.
