Shop charge to replace the main engine harness

Post by max harris »

I was just wondering what a shop charges from the book, and the hours listed to replace the main engine wiring harness on an 03 Bonneville SE.

No fire, and no vermin under the hood. The main harness had a short in it that caused #1 cylinder misfire. I replaced it on Friday in about 4 hours while sipping on a beer and talking to the neighbors. I was just wondering how much a shop would have charged.

I cant imagine that job taking much more than an hour in shop conditions with no beer or interrupting neighbors. If you consider when I pull and engine I always just unplug everything and lay it off to the side. I can have a whole engine out in about 2.5 hours.

I would imagine it would call for 4-5 hours @ ~100 an hour. I did my OBDII swap (harness and ecu) in about 5 hours.
