Stereo & Electronics - 2000 Wiring Harness....

So i might have some wire harness problems.. I figured I'd just get a whole one instead of trying to find the problem since i suck with electrical shit.

Anyone know where to get one new or used and about how much they cost?

Car is a 2000 with an M6.

I also have to figure out my Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction code. Bastard electrical shit.

There are dozens of harnesses in the car - which one are you looking for? Besides, believe me when I say it is usually much easier and cheaper to fix a wiring problem than to replace a harness.

Well I have:

Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Malfunction (replaced sensor, did nothing)
Low Oil light on with oil level being perfect
Coolant Temp Sensor High Voltage
Fuel Level Sensor High Voltage
The wiring in my engine bay is a mess.. there is a whole mess of wires right near the EBCM.

I'm not very good with electrical work, I'd love to be able to figure it out but I'm only good with the mechanical aspect of cars.

Fibbado,

I noticed you're in Doylestown, PA. How far are you from Bristol? Asking because if you need to find a great electrical shop, there is a place called Farmco Auto Electric (http://www.farmcoauto.com).

These guys are awesome! I broke a few wires when trying to drill a hole for a bigger amp wire (the plastic thing on the drivers side), broke about 3-4 wires resulting in ABS INOP light to come on, wipers no longer worked, and the BRAKE light would not light on the dash. I went to the dealer to price out a new harness, almost $1000 but the guy at the parts counter told me to go to Farmco. SO GLAD I DID! They replaced all the broken wires, basically rebuilt the harness. GOOD AS NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, if you need an electrical shop to look at your car, Farmco is where you need to go. Not only do they know their stuff, they also respect the way we take care of our cars.

Just to give you an idea of the cost:

12177547 Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Harness (each side) $115.22
12177653 Engine Harness (for sensors) $494.54
12177615 Engine Compartment Harness (for lamps, fuse panels, etc.) $766.07

These are dealer prices, you can get them cheaper online at places like gmpartsdirect.com but watch out for exhorbitant shipping charges. The part numbers are examples - don't just order them because they will be different depending on options you have on your car.

how much did they charge you to do this?

I was afraid you were gonna ask. I was charged $1000~$1200 for the total repairs, mostly in labor too. I kinda expected it as I heard from many sources that anything electrical can be expensive. They had my car for one week.

I still feel for me this was the better option vs spending $1000 for the whole harness and having to pull the old one out, and try to reroute the new one in as there are tons of plugs everywhere as well as the fear of giving up, and make the car undriveable.

Just thinking, maybe the PCM is acting up?

I thought so.. but the codes are consistent.. there are no new ones since i bought the car 8 months ago
