  Replace entire wiring harness

I have a 2004 john deere gator hpx.

At first when i would turn the key to start position it will crank and crank but no start. i checked the carb, no problems there, it gets fuel and air. I checked and cleaned most of the wire connections in the harness. It has weak or intermittent spark. now when i turn the key to "run" position its starts cranking without even turning the key all all the way to the "start" position although it still doesn't start. I took it to my local John Deere dealer, they told me i need a complete new wiring harness. Cost + install + over $800!! Could there be a simpler fix?

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I am going to pick up my gator from the dealer this weekend and try to find the problem myself. There is no way that I am going to spend that kind of $$$ with out knowing for sure that it will fix the problem!

Went to pick up my gator yesterday. I figured I would try to find the problem my self. I got hit with a $171 diagnostic fee!! just for telling me that a need the wiring harness replaced for an additional $800!!!!!!!! I spoke with the guy who actually did the diagnosing, and he told me it was not the key switch, coils or ignition module. He says it is a wire somewhere in the harness that wore thru and is rubbing on the frame causing it to short out somewhere or maybe a few wires that melted together. I have gone over every inch of that wiring harness and cannot seem to find any problem areas.
