Timer is part# 4161474. There's a new one Ebay.

The chances of finding a new wiring harness for a 50 year dishwasher from a company that sold out its residential line of appliances to Whirlpool in 1986 will be very slim but you may be able to fabricate your own. Someone here may have carefully disassembled and torn down a 17A and kept the harness intact. I did that with a KDS-18 and KDS-19 many years ago.
The dishwasher probably flooded due to a stuck inlet valve. The valve will need to be replaced (Part# 4171000) https://www.ebay.com/itm/295298604070QUE...
I remember seeing a another post of this exact issue years ago and found it. It appears when the dishwasher floods, water makes it way into the timer. It apparently made it into your wiring harness, too.
