Default Melted harness

Does anyone know what harness it is that runs from the sun visor lights and behind the dash, and behind the stereo? I cant find it anywhere. I over loaded a circut im guessing and I walked out on the way to work and my XJ was on fire most of the wires on that harness are melted together or just open to cause more damage.. It left my passenger side lights on guessing they were shorted out.

On mine those wires run down that passenger side pillar, with various connections just under the dash. Very easy to cut those wires on the sheet metal up there, maybe it got tugged on and exposed the wire at some point.

You may want to check the fuse(?) for that circuit before replacing anything else.
