Where to buy a wire harness?

Anyone know where I can buy a replacement ECU wiring harness? All the connectors on mine were cracked and broken when I pulled my engine, and I need a replacement for when I put a rebuilt in there. I'm mostly looking for new/like new condition, but I guess anything will work.

Mazda or a junkyard, I don't know of anyone that makes a replacement harness.

The Mazda one is hugely expensive.. Junkyard ones, unless you do the work yourself, chances are some of the connectors will be broken :\ Especially 86-88s, those damn fuel injector and sensor plugs just crack if you look at them funny.

$450 for just the engine harness? Holy shi@t! I payed $180 for the ENTIRE front harness (minus the engine harness) brand new. How can it be so goddamn expensive? Oh well, looks like ill find a used one

For some of you who have NEVER taken out the wiring harness to do an engine swap for instance....remember this quote, because Paul C is right on the money...

New mazda wiring harness in 2000 aprox $400.

cost me something like $130 for the mazda dealer to tell me that. Oh, then there was the towing bill.

ah...I don't want to talk about it anymore.

I bought mine through russel automotive. A mazda dealer on the east coast. That was 3 years ago though.

If I were to do it again I would just make my own. It's just wires and some plugs. I found New fuel injector plugs are sold at autoparts stores. Most of the plugs could be reused.

I guess archived meant that the part cannot be ordered anymore. But I was there yesterday and found the specific section of it I was looking for. 580

In the case with me, I need a new Front Wire Harness. The cost at www.mazdasurplus.com Is $180 US + surcharge of $50 + shipping.

This, In contrast to $2700 CAN + plus a massive discount of 20% at the dealership.

What should I do?

I'm Installing this behemoth tomorrow. I'm Impressed with this genuine Mazda Front Harness I received from Mazda Surplus. Even before It's Installation.

Thanks Icemark. I wouldn't have known about these guys If you hadn't posted the link. I saved big bucks...so I guess I kinda owe you one.

I'll post results when I'm done.
