Salvage year probably is your best bet. Main wire harness from dealer will be kind of expensive.

Okay. Get ready for sticker shock. I don't know whether your car is a coupe or sedan with automatic or manual transmission; but, I just pulled this up as an example. The dashboard wire harness (#16) list for $750.63 and internet discount at this site is $525.44. If you also need the instrument wire harness (#8) too, that list for $176.63 and discounted to $123.64.

Another good online Honda dealer is Bernardi Honda parts.

I'd be finding out what caused your harness to burn up before throwing a new expensive one in there

He had wires ran to the battery.

If you haven't burned the harness that badly you can probably get away with pulling it out of the car, and soldering in new sections of wire to replace the burned ones. Shouldn't be that difficult if you can solder. Just shrink wrap the connections and put them back in.
