ouch, well if your car is still running it isn't as bad as the other larger main harness. Mine snapped yesterday, shredding/ripping about 10-15 wires and leaving the car dead...

check to see if all of your lights, turn signals still work. Does this just happen to lowered vehicles with larger wheels? I've read a ton of posts on here about that harness rubbing the tire.

I think those might be airbag wires mine got cut too with the 19's and soft coilovers.

i'd check the sidemarkers and fogs and see if its one of those.
exactly how hard does it have to hit to rip the main wiring harness? i've been doing my best to avoid bumps until i raise the car up a bit more.
