Abstract
An automobile wiring harness system including a wiring harness that includes a housing having a proximal opening and a distal opening, electrical conductors extending from the proximal opening to the distal opening, a universal connector coupled to the electrical conductors at the proximal opening, and individual connectors coupled to the electrical connectors at the distal opening and an electrical component of an automobile. The system further includes a first adapting member configured to electrically couple the first adapting portion and the second adapting portion.
