I'm thinking you're going to have to spend some money on that issue.

 

[HarryS]

Dude, that's a hot mess.

Dude, that's a hot mess.

Not something I would even remotely try to fix myself. The vehicle is past warranty, so I'm assuming the OP has an independent mechanic already lined up. Have it towed there, then figure out the next step.

The repair costs should be covered by your vehicles comprehensive insurance coverage, minus any deductible.

make the trucking company pay for it

I hope that you did see what kind of truck it was, the color, etc.
There are laws concerning over loaded vehicles, uncovered vehicles, driving with rocks, etc. between the dually tires, & rock & soil on the undercarriage & sides

Yeah I'm in agreement with the above, I would have the truck towed either to a mechanic or home, then figure out the next step.

The next step is to give your insurance company the name of the trucking company (or at least the vehicle description) and proceed from there. It's very likely your insurance will pay for it since it wasn't your fault. If you have info on the trucking company they'll go after them for reimbursement.

It is definitely something I wouldn't try to fix myself unless it was in my garage and I could take all the time I needed...but even then I think I'd hesitate.

Simple. You need a new engine harness. No shop is going to attempt to repair that with any kind of warranty to back the repair.

You could checkout the auto wreckers and see what they say
I bet pulling all that out to replace would be a hell of a job
It can be fixed, but not in a stupid
Parking lot , without a wiring diagram
And meter.
Also need water proof connections
With heat shrink .

The harness is not that bad to get out and replace. The majority of it is on top and easy to get to. Especially on a truck.

Yeah I should give you guys a little background on me my daughter is actually named me fix it Felix I ran my own concrete company for 7 years maintain every fleet vehicle that was 14 pickups ukraines bobcats All That jazz and my baby is Dr plum full of everything I can eat mom I knew industrial concrete floors pouring and finishing so I'm all over the country and last year alone was Texas Minnesota to New Orleans Philadelphia New York Iowa to fix everything on the fly because it happens to me constantly it breaks down and f****** I just all I have is me all the equipment to do it mostly I had I have a meter I have the multiple soldering irons plugins and torches and solder and heat shrink the one thing I am still missing and even the dealers having problems with it is the wiring diagram to pin out simply just the pinout coming off of the ECU if I can get that pin out it's golden I had it all the way back to where it was just a throttle body that needed to be trained some of the wires got mixed up between the throttle body and the crank sensor camshaft sensor so I can't I want to just go in right at the the connector for these view and pull it right off of them you know off the pins I don't want to go in between anything and get the throttle body I think it has three quarters were done the crankshaft position sensor I don't know which one it is because there's multiple wires that are exact same color or tiny variation and with it being a 2018 and my running wires are dirty no other option would be to run up to eau Claire Wisconsin to have a new harness while salvage harness and just piece it cuz I mean there are connectors that go down into the engine or connectors at the back of it in front of it just take the part that I need but I need my my truck back really bad really really bad. If anyone at all can help me please with the pinout off coming off the ECU for the connector what the wires are the colors I can get close with the colors but if I know exactly which pin it was there'd be no question otherwise I'm going to start hooking up a tracer wire tracer from point A to point b I think started the sensor and then go back for VCU I don't know I get lost in it that's for the problem that there's so many wires so many connections you just get lost. Thank you all for the Post in the advice I wish more of a baby truck than it is but she's got 230 on her new training couple years ago and the pandemic came down from Canada somehow border closed and then I put a new one and last fall. I only did the full engine swap because one is the exact exactly what I needed became available from a close friend and I was chasing chasing things down in it like the lifters went and then it was you know once that goes you're chasing hell now I just need the wiring fixed and my baby is rolling

Go to the Mopar connector site:

Scroll down to Select Year and Select Platform
Select Find now and then scroll down to Module-Powertrain Control C1 anC2

One wire at a time and you'll do it. I strip about 3/16 of insulation from each end, put a length of adhesive lined heat shrink on one wire as far from the splice as possible, push the strands together, wrap a single strand around the pushed together ends like a coil, then solder, slide the heat shrink over the splice and heat with a heat gun until you see the adhesive ooze, and you are done with that wire. Same for the next, etc. Here is a link from Chrysler:

Man, that phone pedestal is all kinds of messed up. Wonder what damage it did to the mower. My brother-in-law worked for the county on a mower. He had stories about the stuff that was hit with those mowers.
