Wiring Harness Damage

[jetfixr1]

If you in the past have ever owned an F-Series truck, you already know that the wiring harnesses aren’t the tidiest. Loose tape ends, poor routing, etc. It never seems to be an issue, after all, this isn’t an airplane.

Today while adding some water to the wiper reservoir, I couldn't help but notice what looks like installation damage on a low voltage harness. No biggie, just wrapped it up with some electrical tape. There was only one expose wire, with other wires showing insulation damage but no exposure. I hope that none of the high voltage wiring is in this condition, which would induce a potentially lethal arc flash or vehicle damage. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

Yikes!

Do you think it's worth taking it to or showing your dealer while under warranty for a replacement harness?

No I dont think so. They would just do what I did. Its just on wire in the bundle. If there was more damage, like 2 wires that could short, or a kinked wire then yes I would take it to a dealer.
