Main wiring harness

[xanatost]

Last night I got in my hoe and when I cracked her up she was idling high. I got my food and when I put her in park she was running normal. Had a interview this morning and same thing. Got don't with interview and she was running normal again. That didn't sit well with me. I let the motor cool down and went out to to check everything thinking I might have a vacuum leak, well that's not what it was. It looks like part of my main wiring harness has rubbed on a pice that goes from the headers into the intake manifold and has shorted out some wires. Truck still runs but no way in hell I'm driving her like that! I love my truck to much to let her burn to the ground. Now the question I want to know is, should I just go to a pull-it yard and get a new used wiring harness or just put in patch wires. Any ideas? Witch ever way I do it its going to be a pain.

Pix..? If its not too bad I'd patch those wires then electric tape, then wire loom and add more electric tape...

Yep, maybe splice them in with some solder if you wanna spend some time on it with some shrink tubing. Depends on how much time you have. Tape up wire loom.

Well finely was able to get a good look at it. How it did not catch fire is beyond me!!!. I am going to have it. Can a wiring harness from a 98 pickup work on a 98 Tahoe? Will I need to get one off a 4x4 seeing how mine is a 4x4 z71??

How in the hell do you remove the main wiring harness where it goes into the cab? I got a new one and I don't see how you unplug it!!! Pic or diagram would be helpful.

should be a bolt squeezing the two together on firewall.

Got a diagram or pics? I'm just going to replace it.

I pulled my inner fender out of drivers side to disconnect my harness. Seems like a pain but it gives great access to the wiring harness, mine had a torx head bolt, theres another section going into firewall on passenger side also. If you pull the glove box out you can disconnect it and remove two screws in engine compartment and remove.
