Default 1990 w250 wiring harness

Hi guys, was recently told that I need a new Wiring Harness for my dodge, I suppose pretty much all of the wires going from my battery to my cab fuse box, as I have no electrical power inside the cab at all. I've been trying to look around to find the right thing to get this on order but can seem to find it. The mechanic said I just need a Wiring Harness and we can get it put in. Any links or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I can not seem to find this online. Thank you

They likely could fix it, but, when you are paying time and materials, at probably 100 bucks an hour..... how long before labor exceeds the cost of a new harness.

That said, FINDING one "new", isn't gonna happen, unless it is custom made. And that ain't gonna be cheap either. Junkyard is pretty much the only viable choice here, unless the OP feels like just taking the truck home, and sorting thru the electrical issues himself......

a competent mechanic could likely fix it easily and quickly with the right tools. think how many new cars have issues with power windows or locks and broken wires usually in the drivers door hinge area.

junk yards are not usually an option either. usually most of those are butchered if you can even find a harness that was only made for 3 years but i guess it is easier than a 91/92 or the 92/93 harness which are both 2 year only harness's. they could use the TBI 91/92 harness if they find it and willing to swap out sensor connectors or swap sensors. no easy or cheap way to do things.
