In researching why our dryer is not heating any more I found that one of the wires connecting to the thermometer (thermometer part #13163770) is corroded and has burnt off. The corrosion and burn goes down about 2.5 inches from the start of the wire, and that wire doesn't have enough length for me to be able to make a new connector and reconnect it. So I need to find a new wire for it. Is there a wire harness that contains the wires that connect to part 13163770 that can be purchased? Or do I just need to make my own?

I'm assuming you mean thermostat. Since it is the blower thermostat and not exposed to high heat I wouldn't stress too much about what you use to repair it. In general I'd simply cut the corroded wire back well past the bad part and patch in a new piece.
Ideally you'd still use high temp wire and terminals. If you do not have that you'll probably be just fine using whatever you have that can handle the current. You can probably find what you need at any home supply store like HD or Lowe's.
