Default wiring harness help.

Well after sending my truck to a shop for frying computers, pinned it down to a bad harness. After getting it to stop frying computers now truck won't run will start momentarily and die. I've been looking for a new harness, does anybody know where I can find one? I've been all over the internet and checked at the junkyard today to try and luck up.

After as long as I've been on here you'd think I'd have the common sense to state what my truck is.

Honestley best luck finding one in a jukyard. I don' know of anywhere online to get a new OEM harness. Either that or you pinpoint where the harness went bad and repair it.

try calling places out of town or state and see if you can have it shipped to you.

That's about what I figured I figure I'll end up ordering a maf conversion harness and modifying my Cai kit.

Pulling codes may help you find what wires need to be fixed.

I haven't had a chance since the truck is in the shop. I'm assuming the mechanic had the common sense to do it.

You assume way to much then

Cost extra to further diagnose and they won't do it unless you give em the go ahead. Same goes for any shop.

I told him to fix it and get it running. I'm just looking for a harness after talking with the mechanic he's just certain it's the harness

pulling codes is one way to pinpoint where in the harness the circuit when bad since now you should have different systems failing because of no power or signal from the PCM.

what part of the harness is it you are looking for anyways? the harness is split in different sections and plugs together.
