Engine Wire Harness old and breaking, want to replace..

My engine wire harness is getting old and brittle.
when i move some wires aroung or even disconnect some connectors some plactic breaks off and the wires are about to break off the connectors
I have had a wire break already on my BAC and another location.

How difficult is it to remove the old 1 and install the new?
Where do i fine 1 for a 89 Turbo2?
What is the part number for it?

Man, I had a dealer price one and it was about $1000. Not many people buying full harness I suppose.

Just patch the breaks man. Go to a junk yard and see if you can cut the connectors off you need that have good wiring. Then solder to your harness.

Some times they are on ebay.

Sounds like something you could make a business out of. It seems like alot of people, including myself, need replacements.

Your could try Mazdatrix, I bought the engine harness last fall for about $550. Yes, it was real, and it's spectacular.....

For a few hundred more than $1000 you could get a stand alone ECU with a new wiring harness.
