When I removed the wiring harnesses from the Bronco, they were intact but needed to be "fixed up". When these Broncos were built, the method to protect the harnesses was in the form of a mesh tube made from some sort of cotton like material. It was porous and did not protect the wires all that good.

 

I cleaned all the dirt and grime from the wires and connections first. Then I wrapped the entire harness with a special non-adhesive harness tape. This tape is specifically made for wiring harnesses and when stretched, it will stick to itself and hold tight.

 

The next step was to cover the harnesses with plastic wire loom. You can buy a kit with plenty of loom, t-junctions, wire ties, clips, etc. The loom comes in any color you could want, but I chose good ole black to match my frame.

 

Here is a picture of a t-junction where there is a section that breaks off of the main harness.

 

I used the clips that came with the kit to secure the harness to the frame. If you ever remove your harness for any reason, I highly recommend this proceess. It is cheap and easy to do.
