Replacement engine harness

[vicious]

Hello everyone!

First things first, if this is the wrong place for this, please move it or let me know and I'll post in the correct location.

After sitting for almost a year, I discovered that some rodents had made a home in my engine bay (2.9L), and with that they have wrought havoc on my wiring harness. I don't think there's much they didn't get into, even though there is plenty wiring still there there's just as much that's gone.

My initial thought was that I could re-attach what's been chewed through, but it's looking more and more like that's easier said than done as it appears some wires have no mates. I'm thinking that a replacement harness will keep me from beating my head against the wall and chasing electrical gremlins for the rest of my life.

Is there a place that sells complete harnesses? Is it worth trying to re-wire it piece by piece? Am I asking for trouble in both cases?

Thanks in advance!

Many here have swapped a 4.0l or 5.0l engine into their 2.9l Rangers, and they may have their old 2.9l harness.

1988-1992 2.9l harness would probably work

Thanks, Ron!

The earliest harness you can use is an 89. The dash changed in 89 and the bulkhead connections changed with it. An 88 harness will not plug in.
