well, at the dealership i tried and i tried and the answer came back NO. they said that maybe if i had purchased the car at the dealership and had maintainance performed by the dealership they might have done it. as 2nd owner i am basically SOL! oh well, it hurts to get hit by this double whammy with the head gasket and then the wiring harness. but then i knew about it, just didn't expect to get hit with it right away. for anyone finding this thread, it is really just a matter of when and not if these breakdowns happen...
