Abstract
Abstract The present invention is an electrical wiring system for incorporation into a motor vehicle which includes a junction harness having numerous terminals for individual connection with corresponding terminals of various loads, switches, the power source and units for electrical appliances of the motor vehicle through independent single wires so that complicated interconnections between such loads, switches, the power source and units for electrical appliances are collectively made within the junction harness for simplification of wiring.
