Engine Wire Harness Wear 200 1991

Our '91 240 wagon has some pretty severe wear on the engine wire harness (see photo attached). One of the wires is downright bare and may have melted its own insulation.

The outer shroud to the harness has burst and my plan is to isolate the very worn wire, check for others, and splice repair lengths to the worn wires.

But I'm curious, and I haven't seen this on the Net, is there a replacement harness available?

And, is there an easy to decipher color-code legend to help me ID what the various wires in the harness power?

Thanks for your advice!

Kyle

    Kyle,
    I live just up the road in Westminster, by 97 and 32.
    I don't have a lead on a harness, but if I can help you in anyway let me know.
    Miguel

    Have you considered a trip to Crazy Ray's in Mt Airy?

      Thanks. I did check with Dave's site. Mostly pre '88 harnesses which apparently were quick to degrade and need replacement.

      Appreciate the suggestion.

        here's a link to the wiring diagrams
        so you can figure out the colors

            What's great about that previous wiring diagram link is that it provides a location map of all the relays in the car. This can be really handy when you are visiting the local pick n'pull.

            Additionally, for a 200 series, the relay locations really vary a lot from year to year - as witness to the linked map.
