wiring harness
Vehicle's electrical backbone
A wiring harness is a bundle of electrical wires and cables bound together, typically with protective sheathing, designed to transmit power and signals throughout a vehicle, appliance, or machine.
The harness organizes multiple wires into a single unit for easier installation and maintenance: The mechanic replaced the entire wiring harness after the fire damage.
Also called a cable harness or wire loom.
