Wiring has melted! Help!

Some how... A 10 amp fuse was put in my 5amp power steering buss. Well...what can I say? My harness is pretty much fried from the fuse box to the battery compartment. Alternator keeps blowing fuses! Rear window washer is stuck "on". Pulled the fuse. Door locks lock...then immediately unlock themselves. Bare wiring from heat damage. Lucky the whole car didn't go up in smoke!

Pretty much screwed!

Where do I find a new harness?

I am in the audio business and have knowledge of wiring etc. Just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for all of your help

Maybe try Penske Mini Parts.com

They seem to have everything; you just have to keep digging to get to
the correct sub catagory.

You're also going to want to find out what caused the fuse to want to blow in the first place. That way you won't run into the same problem again.
