tailgate wiring harness

My '96 tailgate window still works, but for how long?? The wiring harness that parallels the support cable is in poor shape. The black covering has split, and some of the wires' insulation has cracked and the copper is now green. Anyone know how much work is involved in replacing the harness? Or a cost estimate?

Thanks!!

new but pricey too (as compared to dealer price; that was >$300.00 at local dealership 2 yrs. ago in the boonies))

I patched mine too; as well as replaced the support cable; for that price, you can re-wire the harness yourself as others here have done.
bbl; gotz to work!

Thanks! As soon as I free up some space in the garage, I'm gonna start digging into it.

yo,
OK!
Ck out my Web site for Links to t'gate wiring schematics, repair article (Steve, etc.) and parts suppliers.
Also, ck out the pass side tail light harness; our's almost chaffed to the copper as well...no grommets or bracing/padding there either
