Engine wiring damage ... Which cars share the 2.5L engine?

[D A C]

A rodent (squirrel) chewed up the engine wiring on my 2016 Transit Connect with 96k miles.  It was repaired at the time but not well enough and I want to improve on it.  Spark plug/coil wires were chewed through and others damaged to the point where engine would not run at all.  Emergency repair was done at an independent shop.  Now one year later another wire broke atop the engine, connected to an unknown sensor.  The engine starts and runs but gas mileage is way down, to ~20 mpg. 

 

I would like to either replace the wiring harness section or splice a section in.  I would either buy the needed section from Ford or else pull from a parts car at the local Pick-N-Pull.  

 

Which other vehicles would be a suitable donor?

 

Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Maybe there is a thread in the archives which would be helpful but I haven't found it, especially re: compatible vehicles.  There are not many TC's in the junkyard.  I think the Fusion may have the same engine, maybe some Mazda?

The TC was built on a Focus platform. But I don't think the Focus was sold in the US with the 2.5L engine. I doubt you will find any 2016 vehicles at Pick n Pull or other self serve junkyards (I have never seen a Gen 2 TC at any Pick n Pull and the newest Ford truck or van I have seen was a 2013). These newer cars are usually purchased by standard junyards. Try contacting one of them to see how mych they charge for wiring harnesses. The good news is 99% of TCs have the same 2.5L engine.

I think it's a Mazda engine, also used in the Escape.
