Default rats chewed wires help!

so I don't drive my ws6 as often as I should and when I took it out last time I noticed it wasnt running right. Decieded to check it out today and found a damn rats nest on top of the motor. Worst part is they deceided to chew some wires. They got a few wires going to the inectors and to the egr. Does any one know where I can buy a new injector harness? All the damage was on the passanger side and I hope you can just replace that whole wire loom with all the injector connectors on it. Thanks guys

The injector harness is built into the whole pcm harness. The only way to fix is repair the wires or buy a whole new engine harness.

Thanks, I guess I'll be splicing in some wires. There just pretty hard to get to.
Couldn't I go to a junkyard and cut that one wire loom off with the injector connectors and splice the whole thing in?

Its really easy one the looming is taken apart and all the electrical tape is cut open. Im sure you could go to a junk yard and do that but you will be repairing all the wires in the injector harness side when you can just repair a few.

Here you go man. This was just a quick search. I'm sure a sponsor on here also sells them

Are there connectors where you can pull just the injector harnesses off the main harness?

Not sure I follow what your asking. You can purchase adapters for going from a EV1 connector to a EV6 style. I had the Ford racing ones on my car when I went with the ls3 injectors and they worked great. Ben prefers the ones that have the wire between the connectors vs the direct plug style.

There must have been some confusion. I know you can buy new pig tails for injectors, but I was thinking he wanted to go to a junk yard and cut one whole side of an injector harness out and replace the whole thing.

Yes you can go and just do them individually like that as mentioned above or you can just replace the section of chewed wire, which would be the route I would go.

Either or will work.
