Some vehicles may have load drawing solenoids that become defective causing overload on the current carrying wire causing it to over heat and burn. Another cause is bad connections on terminals. Some wires carry heavy loads of current, therefore, causing a hot spot at that bad connection causing the wire to over heat and burn. Still other causes could be bad alternators, heater blower motors, radiator cooling fans, etc... All these are load drawing components and should be looked after.

Under the middle of the rear bumper between the spare tire and the bumper there will be some wiring zip tied to the frame. Cut the zip tie and pull down the wiring.

How do you replace the wiring harness on a 1996 gmc sierra and is it hard for a big guy to do?

I guess it depends upon which wiring harness. I've spliced in a "patch" on a few wires on the harness from the front of my '91 Sierra to the gas tank (had some pinched wires). Wasn't terribly hard to do. I now have a wire or 2 on the harness from the engine, haven't tackled that yet. It's probably best left to a mechanic.


What could be wrong with a 1991 Jeep Cherokee if the windshield wipers turn signals radio and fans for air and heat all went out at the same time and you checked the fuses and they were all good?

It sounds like something in the wiring harness or it may be some naked wires touching and shorting out. Look for burn section of wiring around the battery or fuse area. It sounds like you have burned out a fusible link. This can be replaced by some one with a little wiring knowledge.
