Post in the Wanted section of the site would be your best bet. To my knowledge, no one makes reproduction harnesses for these.

Suggest you look at car-part.com at related parts for your Jeep and try to find a donor within reasonable distance.

I would repair or remake the existing harness if it were for me. The most expensive part is the wire; ie buying enough different colors of suitable gauges. Possible you could use the harness from a more recent car and use that as material.

As Tim said, I would even suggest that Japanese OEM wiring for some reason, are of exceptional quality, because I have done a few replacements on my 1986 Honda and the wires are not as corroded as my 85 grand wag, which both sleep outside. German made cars are also a good choice, and there are plenty of bimmers in the yards because they are a financial pit to repair.

If you want just a stock harness there's this place out in Cali that has some really good solid stuff; and it being dry their stuff is usually incredibly clean. We've been very impressed with the stuff we've gotten from them.

There's also jeeprecyclers.com --just fair warning, I know they were really good but I've heard mixed reviews since they expanded, and when I sent a thing asking if they wanted any extra parts I have, I never heard anything back. So kind of a mixed bag there.

ZM Jeeps sells new harnesses. I have one of theirs for the engine bay that came with my cherokee when I bought it. I haven’t installed it, but it seems to match the factory harness except it didn’t have the wiring for the air conditioning switch .
