Replacing the harness is not the way you want to go, besides being ridiculously expensive, it is not necessary to do the repair. If some wiring is damaged, you just replace that section of wire with aftermarket equivalent materials.

I took a look at the dme and all the wiring in the trunk. Everything looks perfect. Hmm, maybe my mechanic can find something I can't. I will be sure to update once I find something.

You need to be testing continuity and resistance on the specific wires used by each of the sensor heaters; looking at the wire bundles will not tell you much of anything……

I don't know that much about testing continuity and definitely don't have the tools to test this. I am taking it to the shop on Wednesday and will let you know what I find out. Thanks again for the suggestions everyone.

I got mine from barnes and noble, but amazon has them and I'm sure they're on eBay. I've got a lightly used one I'll sell ya if you want.
