Burnt wiring harness please help
Okay guys here's what happened the person that put the battery cables on my Jeep last time used to f****** negative cables long story short I put a new battery in it today and it fried the f****** harness cuz I couldn't tell which one was ground and which one was not with it being dark out. My question is what is the easiest way to fix this should I just order a complete wiring harness for the engine compartment of my Jeep and what daemon should I expect to find when I actually start into the repair any and all help is much appreciated would like to get my girl running again asap

first: are the wires actually burnt and melted?
Second: if they arent then check all the fuses, those will most likely all be bad
Third: you may have fried the ECU and everyother sensor.

are just the big main wires off the battery the ones that got burnt? or is it all the wires at the junction mounted on the fender?

Alright guys sorry for the late reply haven't been home during the day long enough to be able to inspect the Jeep it appears that it's the small positive cable that runs to the junction connection on the fender is melted and burnt I'm not sure about any wires going to the relays. relays I pulled all them they didn't appear to be burnt I do have a picture for yall of the melted burnt wire that I could find if anyone knows how to get the relay junction of the fender please let me know so I can get it off inspect there as well
