After reading the details of your problem, I understand why you're choosing the solution you are. Obviously, if you "let the smoke out" of the wires, there was a short somewhere...and even with a replacement harness, whatever caused the initial short may still be there to short out the replacement harness. No use getting your shorts in a twist over the shorts...let the next guy figure it out.
When I was a teenager keeping my "junkyard refugee" cars and trucks on the road, I had a rule of thumb. Break your analysis of a vehicle down into 4 areas: body, mechanical, interior/glass, and electrical. Then never buy/keep a vehicle with major problems in more than two areas...and if it has electrical problems, START by counting that as two instead of one. That rule has served me well in not getting hung up buying a true lemon over the years.
My guess is, your Sportage probably has a problem or two other than electrical...which, by my rule of thumb above, puts it over the limit for keeping or investing much money into.
