We thought it was our alternator, but we replaced the alternator and the car will still not run. We had two mechanics tell us that all the wires melted together. They said something sort circuited and the wires were all corroded and brittle and apparently they have all melted together.

I have found there is very little difference between most wagon and sedan parts and I believe the engine harness would be the same.
