Abstract

Wire harnesses for connecting a number of electric devices mounted on an automotive vehicle are arranged on flat resin frame covers fixed to vehicle frames or directly on resin vehicle frames or most preferably on a resin vehicle body, in order to facilitate wiring of electric devices, reduce harness spaces without use of harness fixtures, and automatize wire harness manufacturing processes. The wire harness thus arranged is connected to electric devices by engaging each set of harness end terminals with each electric device connector attached to the vehicle frame.
