I'd have to agree with Stu. It might seem like $250 is a lot to spend
for some wire and connectors (Rick's catalog list price for a wiring
harness), but you'd be amazed at how much wire goes into a full harness,
exactly how much it costs to get all that wire, plus getting all of the
connectors and the countless hours it takes to put it all together. In
some respects it's even harder to repair a damaged harness (especially a
burnt one), because for every wire you have to decide how far back to
cut it, how to route it, and where to splice it back into the remainder
of the harness.
You'd have to have some pretty compelling reasons to not go with one of
the OEM replacement harnesses, even if it was your intent to upgrade the
wiring system with relays or additional fused circuits. Working with
old, corroded, and burnt wiring is just not worth the aggravation.

Instead of patching, there are replacement harnesses available. Try
Rick (Sunbeam specialties) or Curt (Classic Sunbeam). If age or
previous owners caused your present problems, why not start fresh?
