Abstract
A waterproof construction of a wiring harness in which a plurality of splicing wires passed through a water immersion area likely to be subjected to water immersion in a motor vehicle and spliced with each other are bundled with other wires, comprising: a terminal which is attached to a distal end of one of the splicing wires; a connector which is disposed at a predetermined position such that the terminal is mounted in a spare terminal pocket of the connector; and a splice portion in which the one of the splicing wires is spliced with the remainder of the splicing wires at a location spaced a predetermined distance from the predetermined position of the connector and disposed in a water nonimmersion area not subjected to water immersion such that the splice portion is disposed in the water nonimmersion area at all times.
