Abstract
A truck has an occupant compartment (24), an engine compartment (20) forward of the occupant compartment, and a wiring harness (34) extending through a dash panel (26) separating the two compartments from each other. A grommet (46) is secured at a fixed location on a wire bundle (42) that passes through the grommet. The dash has a through-opening in which the grommet seats, and the engine compartment side of the grommet includes a bend (48) that curves generally downward and away from the dash to direct the bundle generally downward on the engine compartment side.
