Need electrical help!!!

Problem: The wiring harness on the right side of the engine w/ 4 plugs (oil temp, oil pressure, power steering pressure & alternator) melted on the turbo manifold. The previous owner repaired the wires, but now it always reads high oil temp even when it's cold. I unplugged all the end plugs from the sensors on the part of the harness that had been repaired & oil temp still reads high. That leads me to believe there may be something upstream that is causing the issue. None of the wires appear to be grounding out though.

Anyone know what else could cause the false high oil temp reading & how to fix it?
