I dont want to jinx it but I'm pretty sure that was my problem. At this point do i just wrap the bare spots with tape and then wrap the harness back up?

I think others mis-read your word "split" as break in wire, not as just Y-split sending signal in two directions.
If the inner copper conductor is intact, then yes, wrapping it up will be fine. If it's frayed and broken, then you'll want to solder back together. In which case, might as well cut it all the way through so you can slide shrink-wrap tubing in before soldering. Then you'll have more durable repair as tape will eventually fall off when adhesive dries up.
Is this short on gauge-side of connectors? Or between ECU and gauge-connector?
You'll want to test black-wire for signal with short repaired to determine if ECU is damaged.
