Last nite I unwrapped a junk yard Ford Harness. Couple if items poped
out.

There were two wires wrapped around each other that went to the first
plug on the harness nearest the CPU. It branches at 4" and is another
12" long. The spirals are about 3 turns for 2" and it's loosely wrapped.
You EE boys will know what this is for.

>From 1' to 2.5 ', the main harness is wrapped in tin foil, then some
kind of woven  heat blanket, (looks like kevlar) then the standard
electrical tape.

Three wires from the main plug, starting about 3' out, are wrapped in
foil, then tape, and under the foil is a lot of stranded/woven ground
wires. they also seem to be wrapped around the main harness under the
tin foil

Anything interesting here??

Everyone should try this just to learn how to build your own harness,,,,
at least how to wrap it in tape...
