Harness service loop retainer

A wire harness retainer assembly comprising:

• a strap member having an insertion portion, a housing portion and a lock portion, wherein the insertion portion is configured to be inserted into the lock portion and form a loop, the housing portion comprising a housing body that defines a receiving portion, an opening and a pair of apertures formed therethrough;
• a dual-loop retainer having a body including a first end and a second end that collectively form a distal insertion end, the dual-loop retainer further including a proximal retaining end, including a first loop portion that is configured to loop around a first portion of the wire harness and a second loop portion that is configured to loop around a second portion of the wire harness, the body further comprising a pair of detents formed at the distal insertion end, wherein the distal insertion end of the loop retainer is configured to be slidably inserted into the receiving portion of the housing portion to an installed position wherein the detents are at least partially received by the pair of apertures;
• and
• a pin configured for receipt into the opening of the housing body to a locked position between corresponding first and second ends of the distal insertion end, wherein the pin inhibits the detents from moving toward each other in the locked position.

A method of securing a wire harness, the method comprising:

• securing a strap member relative to a component of a control module;
• locating a first portion of the wire harness into a first loop portion of a loop retainer;
• locating a second portion of the wire harness into a second loop portion of the loop retainer, wherein the second loop portion is distinct from the first loop portion;
• inserting a distal insertion end of the loop retainer into a housing formed on the strap member;
• further inserting the distal insertion end until a pair of detents extending from the loop retainer locates into corresponding apertures defined in the housing to an installed position;
• advancing a pin into an opening defined in the housing;
• and
• further advancing the pin to a locked position between corresponding first and second ends of the loop retainer wherein the detents are inhibited from moving toward each other.
