Question:

how much is a wiring harness?

I need a new wiring harness for a 2002 daewoo lanos. How much is that going to cost? And what does that thing even do, anyways?

Answer:

There are typically about half a dozen wiring harnesses in any car, each constituting all the wiring for a particular section of the car engine compartment, under-dash, front lighting, etc. Prices vary widely. The only one I ever replaced was an engine harness in an older Volvo and I found one aftermarket for $300. I also priced an engine harness for a 1984 Nissan 300ZX (after an engine fire) and Nissan wanted $2000 for the harness. Replacing it would have been a lot of labor, too. Be sure to get a second opinion in any case. It will be a very expensive job and not only is it something you don't want to do because of a bad diagnosis, but if the harness has an identifiable fault it may be repaired. The dealer won't do repairs but other shops often will.
