rats got to my wiring harness

I have a 1988 bronco II. The wiring harness in the engine compartment has been chewed on by rats that nested in the car while it was stored. My mechanic has put it back together as best he can but it still will not run right. He is getting a code about the map sensor but wi know the map sensor is good. This is the second time the rats have gotten to the truck. I would like to put in either a new wiring harness or one that is off of a running truck. Any suggestions on where I can get one? Thanks

He pays a premium for the comprehensive insurance, so I am sure he is ready to use it any time he can.
