1989 f150 4x4 4.9
I am in need of a Engine side wiring harness for my truck. I live in NC and was looking for places to find one or if someone has one on here for sale.
Thank you all

Unless it burned, it's always cheaper, quicker, & easier to repair a damaged wiring harness. Read this & the NEXT few captions:

You'll probably never find an exact match for yours, and putting in the wrong one (MANY wrong ones will plug in) can cause serious damage, including fire.

Thanks Steve, its not burnt anywhere just been patched a few times before I git the truck. I guess it is time for some wire and a tester and just sit down and trace them out. I have pretty much rebuilt the truck but still having a cranking issue with it losing spark. Spins over fine just no fire. All pats have been replaced on the, distributor, Coil, plugs, wires, sensors i would guess all of them, Computer. It has to be in that harness somewhere unless i am missing something.

I had spark at the plug and it was running fine then I shut it off , after about a 12 mile drive and then no spark at the plug. Everything is new and I even took the distributor back to Napa and had it replaced thinking it was bad, then took the coil pack back whick was brand new as well, still no spark.

Just want to make sure. My method is to pull a wire, throw a spare plug in it. Ground it to a valve cover and crank. I’m sure that’s just about everyone’s method. This might sound really dumb but have you checked all of your grounds?

Replacing parts blindly causes more problems than it solves or prevents. And not all new parts are good parts, so stop changing them. Get a Haynes manual, and follow the procedure in Ch.5 (usually Sec.5 or 7). This caption explains how to get the best edition for your truck:
