Hello im kind of new to the car scene and just want to know what would be the estimate cost to replace the engine harness on a 2000 Civic SI. It has a B16 and the harness was messed up by rodents and animals. Im planning on replacing the whole thing, thanks!

 

I'd worry about cost second after you locate the harness. That's going to be the harder part I believe, unless you're going aftermarket for the replacement.

The labor to replace it shouldn't be too bad, I replaced the one in my Integra in less than a day, and that was taking a lot of breaks.

 

Should i go for aftermarket? Idk. I seen some online for like 1K but im still doing research. Tbh i dont trust myself with wires and stuff (im a pus ik im new) so should i just take it to a shop or friend

 

If it’s anything but a totally stock car that’s intended to stay that way, I’d 100% say new aftermarket. If the car IS supposed to be staying stock, a new OE harness is going to be impossible to find and most used ones are basket cases anyway.

NOT one of these chintzy Amazon mass production ones either. You can get a good ‘budget’ spec one from one of the better builders for a few hundo. Worth every penny.

Alright thank you

 

That’s a fair price for a stock loom
