Go to your local Dollar store and pick up a spray bottle of La's Totally Awesome from the household cleaning products area. spray it on your harness full strength and let it set for a few minutes, use a soft brush on the tough spots, then rinse it off with a hose. you may need to repeat to get it really clean, but this stuff will lift most dirt and grease out on the first round. the reason I like this stuff over any others that I've used it because it has no acids or other harsh chemicals to wreak havoc on the insulation.
try it… you'll like it. I buy the stuff by the case now

I would spray it down with either Simple Green or the Purple Stuff.. let it soak for some then brush the loose grease and dirt off. Spray it with water to rinse off the cleaner.
Use some Spray Electrical cleaner on the connectors and terminals to finish off.
Repeat any steps on the hard to remove areas.

Goo Gone baby. All of the other stuff works just fine, but goo gone is not as caustic, cleans all the grease and is absolutely invaluable for any type of sticky residue. The best stuff made for removing stickers from anything.

I was going to recommend removing he covering and washing with hand cleaner. Then a wash with dish soap to remove all remaining oils.

Remove all the outer covering then off to the local carwash. Blow it dry with shop air. Then I use Coleman camp fuel to remove and stubborn oil residue. Fuel is like $9 gallon and leaves zero residue.
I was a honda motorcycle mechanic years ago, and we had a old dishwasher we use to use for engine/trans parts. We put everything in it, along with degreaser and soaps. It never died.
I used to do this with my old coveralls. there were so greasy I didnt want to wash them at home, so in a pillowcase they went. wonder what the next person to use the machine went through.
well I got me some ideas 'll try.
