If your fairly good at repairs, buy a test light at the store here and do the repairs yourself using either solder or in-line connectors. But if you would rather a shop look at it, I would call around to get the best price, and look for ASE certification in electrical systems. You just match the colors, and splice the same thickness wires if neccessary to add length. The fuses will all have to be checked along with all the accessories. If it is real bad, tow it. I wouldn't want something to short out and leave you stranded. The ignition or computer wires may be involved. You may need some accessories reset with the scanner that dealerships use.
