124 wire harness under dash

I purchased a clean 90 300d with bad wire problems. The insulation melted on the wires under hood by the right side strut. While sorting through the mess, I see where the burned wires run into the cabin. OH S t, WOW this don't like a good purchase. Has anyone ever pulled the dash and replaced the harness on one of these?
This one only has 155K miles and is super clean in and out. I hate to junk it.




Thanks, Tom

You shouldn't have to replace the entire harness unless the entire harness is infact destroyed,only repair what needs to be repaired.

It the entire harness shot or is just a few wires?

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.

What bothers me is, that all the wires inside the outer sheathing cover have the insulation
melted. So if those are melted, it would make sense that some of those conductors had to
see heat all the way to the ends of those circuits. Scary, huh!

That sounds serious, how functional are the vehicle electronics?
