The wiring module includes an insulating protector having an electrical wire holding portion that holds electrical wires that detect the state of the power storage elements, and a bending member that is provided at a position connected to the electrical wire holding portion, and has a hinge that is bent in a direction that intersects the electrical wire holding portion. The electrical wires are fixed to the bending member. The bending member has a locked portion that is locked to the insulating protector in a state of being bent by the hinge. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wiring module configured for attachment to a power storage element group in which multiple power storage elements are arranged in a line, the wiring module comprising: an insulating protector having an electrical wire holding portion that holds an electrical wire that detects a condition of the power storage elements; and a bending member that is connected to the electrical wire holding portion, and has a bending portion that is bent in a direction which intersects the electrical wire holding portion and changes a routing direction of the electrical wire held in the electrical wire holding portion, the electrical wires being fixed to the bending member, wherein the bending member has a locked portion that is locked to the insulating protector in a condition bent by the bending portion. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wiring module according to claim 1, wherein the bending member and the insulating protector are an integrated body. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The wiring module according to claim 2, wherein the bending member includes a fixing portion that fixes the electrical wire to the bending member. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The wiring module according to claim 1, wherein the bending member includes a fixing portion that fixes the electrical wire to the bending member. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The wiring module according to claim 1, wherein the locked portion comprises a locking claw and a corresponding locking hole that receives the locking claw. ### Claim 6 A method for producing a wiring module configured for attachment to a power storage element group in which multiple power storage elements are arranged in a line, the wiring module comprising an insulating protector having an electrical wire holding portion that holds an electrical wire that detects a condition of the power storage elements, and a bending member that is connected to the electrical wire holding portion, and has a bending portion that is bent in a direction which intersects the electrical wire holding portion and changes a routing direction of the electrical wire held in the electrical wire holding portion, the electrical wires being fixed to the bending member, the method comprising: fixing the electrical wire held in the electrical wire holding portion to the bending member; thereafter bending the bending portion; and locking the bending member to the insulating protector, the bending member being in a bent condition due to bending the bending portion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method for producing a wiring module according to claim 6, further comprising: providing a locked portion having a locking claw and a corresponding locking hole that receives the locking claw, and locking the bending member to the insulating protector via the locking claw and corresponding locking hole.
