Help! 96 Marquis Wire Harness?

[Beth764]

I have a 1996 Grand Marquis, upon putting several hundred dollars into my car we have found that the wire harness that goes to the brain has touching wires. So we have been looking for this part to replace, new is almost $900, and way to much to put in.

We can't seem to find a junk yard with the part, as it is only interchangable for two years...

At risk of sounding like the clueless female that I am, what is the name for this darn part? Wire Harness? Is it an Engine Control Unit? lol, Can't seem to find anything online that pulls it up..

any help on where to find this part or what the silly name is I would apprecaite!!!

Thanks
Beth

Hmmm...do you have this wiring harness already out of the car? If so, you could post a close up picture of it on here and I'm sure someone can tell you exactly what it is called! I don't believe it has a technical name, though, I'd called it a wiring harness myself!

Thank you for your fast reply!! Yes, I do have the part pulled. I can't post an attachment on here for some reason so here is the site where you can view the part!!
