Abstract
A connector bracket for facilitating assembly of an electrical component to an automobile. The connector bracket may include a proximal support configured to attach to an attachment structure of an automobile, and a distal support including a flange for retaining an electrical connector in a storage position. The proximal and/or distal supports may include one or more hooks for retaining wiring extending from the electrical connector. Further, the distal support may be positioned relative to the proximal support such that when the proximal support is attached to the attachment structure and when the electrical connector is retained by the distal support, the electrical connector is accessible and removable from its storage positions on the distal support, through an opening in which the electrical component is to be installed, to enable attachment of the electrical component to the electrical connector. The invention also provides a method for assembling an electrical component to an automobile using the aforedescribed connector bracket.
