wiring harness question

I have a 96 diesel standard cab auto with wiring harness issues. It was used as a plow truck before l bought it and I've been having electrical problems with the head lights woking intermittently, I check the head light switch wiring and noticed several wires with melted insulation so I'm thinking of replacing the dash wiring harness does anyone know which model years years are interchangeable. There are several 2nd generation harnesses on eBay but none specific to a 96. Any info would be much appreciated.

x2 on the headlight switch. Unplug it and check the female connector. Two of the terminals had melted together on mine and was causing a short. If that is the case with yours OR the headlight switch is shorted then either or both can be bought and replaced without having to take out your dash harness
