Wiring tape Engine area

[positiveimpulse]

Just want to get the forums opinion on these 2 pictures.

Noticed that the tape does not cover wires close to the connector. I’d assume the tape (especially the silver thermal tape ) was protecting wires from engine heat. Look forward to comments.

Looks pretty standard for automotive wiring harnesses, not that it's ideal.

If you're concerned about it you could use a high temp electrical tape, but it's temperature limits are in the 360 F (H range).

The insulation is there for where the wiring crosses hot stuff, or the black friction tape just to keep the bundle clean and from getting rubbed/cut by corners. The connector isn’t at a hot location - otherwise the plastic connector would be insulated too, or moved to a cooler location.

Feel free to tape it up though if you want it to look better

Yo, Chief no work without a reference.

Welcome to the Ford Motor Co. There is little doubt that some bean counter calculated how much they’d save by eliminating a couple extra inches of electrical tape at the ends, and it was approved. I’m still a bit stunned at how they terminated the aux switch wires.
