Location: Perth Australia | Look at my thread (This should be the right page) and you will see that I had to do this repair as well

It isnt that hard, the hardest thing is getting it out and getting it back in right (right is important  )
Spend a day taking it out, a weekend fixing it, and a weekend putting it back
You will need to remove all the front wiring and the dash wiring, you should be able to leave (and re use) the rear harness
After its out, try to untape the harness and every so often, especially at branches, add a wrap or two of tape to hold the harness in shape before you try and remove the burnt one
You will find other wires that have been melted into as you go along, you can replace or repair these as needed (a spot burn will just need reinsulating, but if its more, either replace that section or replace the wire)
Once you get into it, its not that bad
Hardest part is getting started and not letting it overwhelm you
