Source for Wiring Harness
I need a new one. The cheapest I have found was $720. Any other ideas? What about trying to repair the old one? Is it that hard? Take it off, unwrap the tape, wrap the wires in shrink wrap electrical tape or just splice in and solder new wires. Has anyone tried it?

That's the part number for the early run of these engines. Last I checked - 2 yrs ago - the part was available through another website, here, for $575.
I've read discussion where people replaced the wiring one wire at a time, but this may be more work than the average person wants to undertake to save money. If you decide to repair the wiring, ALL the wires must be replaced because the insulation gets brittle in the entire engine wiring harness.

i have tried rewiring my MB 300 24v last february by splicing it at different levels near the ECU plug and do it one wire or plug at a time to prevent confusion. as much as possible rewire it at least with similar color for easy tracing.
