PCM Harness Damage

Looking for some suggestions on the best way to fix this.
It appears a mouse ate my wiring harness to the computer.

Can I take the pins out of the existing connectors and try to splice the wire?
Do they sell a repair kit with wires and pins already attached?

Should I try a junkyard harness and try to splice it back in?


Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks!

Depends on how good you feel you are with this kind of project.
At the least, I would try to get a computer plug with 6 inches or more of lead or long enough to reach the farthest damaged lead in the main harness.
Fooling with the connector pins is inviting ongoing operating hassle without a pin extractor tool.
If a mistake is made you have to recognize what circuit is involved and go sorting it out again.
Good luck.

I'd typically recommend replacing if more than 6-8 wires are damaged.

Anything is possible, depends on your skills etc, patience, and motivation


If you have full coverage insurance you can claim it on your insurance
