Getting wiring harness replaced

Apparently the problem with the car not running was the DME. When the dealer replaced the DME, the car ran 7 minutes before damaging the replacement. They believe there is a short in the wiring harness and are replacing it. Should be done Monday. Fingers crossed for finally a resolution. Thanks to all who offered help and advice.

More like $8,000, not hours, for the main harness and labor. Took almost a week. Car was taken apart like it was on the factory assembly line.

All because of a repeated air bag light that could not be kept off after several fixes. It was either that, or buy the car back under the Lemon Law.

His problem, on the other hand, may just be in the engine compartment.

Yikes, that certainly says a thousand words and perhaps launches almost as many questions. I think the final labor is coming in at 36 hours and cost will be $6100 including replacement harness and ecu.
