Wire Harness Fried From 02 Dump!! Help!

[z0n3x]

My External Wastegate fried my main harness. Last night I was racing a 300z, in which in the middle of the race my headlights cut out and my dash lights. I proceed to open my hood, and my manifold is bright red. Anyway, i checked the fuses, and my headlight, tail light and blinker fuses were fried, not to mention my harness by the radiator. i replaced all the fuses, turned my car on and my dash started to smoke inside where my gauge bezel is. Could the whole harness be shorted? or can i just tape up the wires and replace the ones that are fried?

you *could* just replace the ones that are toasted...but why screw with it...replace the entire harness then you know it's all back in good working order.

Easier said than done I've been through a similar situation with a large section of wiring harness melting itself together. In my case it was a 6 foot long section, but most wires were not badly damaged. I only actually had to replace one wire.

Take a look at it before you decide. If you melted the whole thing into one ball of copper, you may want a whole new harness. If it's just a few wires melted together, then perhaps you can repair it.

if a wire is shorted, does it mean that it is shorted throughout the whole wire? or do i just need to replace the casing around the copper
