Wiring Harness ???

Well my wiring harness took a dump. Has anyone dealt with this before? Dealer is saying they repair them as oppose to replacing them and it is approx. 1500 bucks. I was wondering if this is something I could tackle myself. I went to an independant guy and he said it was part of my wiring harness but couldnt figure out exactly where the problem was. Any help is appreciated.

Wiring harness for what exactly? Stereo? Headlights? Taillights? Everything?

woah, crazy seeing you on the non-OT forum Jen! what up!

that sucks, I have no idea what's going on with your harness, but the other guys should hopefully chime in soon.
