I don't think the cable harnesses all have specific names. Describing where they go, like you did,is about all you can do.

The rubber firewall grommet is to keep poisonous engine bay gasses from getting into the cabin.

How bad is the old harness? Are any of the connectors damaged?
How many wires are burned up?
Maybe you can fix what you have.
Are any of the wires that went to the headlight switch burned up?


well the whole fuse box is melting on the old one i have but i got a new one but it goes to a 5.0 motor is ther any way i can clip the 5.0 connectors and trace down the wires and wire the connectors from my 3.8 harness?

The 3.8 and 5.0 fuse boxes are the same.
I don't know what your skill level is as for wiring and using a meter.
