Quick tip: Fixing up engine bay wiring & cabling protection 

Amazon links to relevant products are in the description.

I'll give you boys a golden tip: where you finish wrapping the tape (where u finish and cut it and finally wrap it around the loom) throw a small or appropriate size zip tie over the tape and secure it so the tape can't start separating or come up with time... peace

I've used the exact same protecting sleeve a week ago (6 years since this video) (this is the first time I watch it) and cut it exactly in the same fashion without knowing anything about cars or electric cables, and I'm from Uruguay, South America. I don't know why but I find it extraordinary, almost eerie. I'm quite surprised at myself and pleased to know that I actually did it right, I thought my frankenstein work wasn't conventional. The only thing I would point out is that I avoided using tape because I think it will really wear out with time. I outright avoided having to join sleeves, and in places where I had no choice, I placed a 10 cm piece of a bigger diameter sleeve on top of the joint.

Thank you so much. I was looking for, I don't know, 3 minutes, and I never thought I would find the right tape for a wire harness. Their both bookmarked. 😜

Engine bay looks clean and very organized.

Thanks so much for this excellent demo! Great detail. I'll refer to it while wiring in a usb charger for my motorcycle. Great camera work also.

Thank you for this, I am about to redo the loom in my discovery 2. and was looking for different ideas as in running a little longer around the back, stranded or solid core, silicon or pvc etc etc.. But on seeing your vid I think just keep it as designed.. ta

Very informative and clear. Great video.

Great video, planning to do my wires next, thanks

Exactly what I was looking for!

good tutorial, straight to the point. It' looks "easy" on your car. Try the re-wrapping wire bundles on my 1994 Z28 Camaro, then I'll hire you, lol. I bought this tape anyways.

Great video man, thank you!

great video very useful info

May I ask whats the size of Split wiring sleeve? There are lots of size our there.

That was helpful thank you.

Useful video. Thanks. Also, digging the accent mate

Thank you, sir.

Exelente video saludos

But is there a high quality conduit available? The stuff you used looks just like the stuff they put in at the factory which dries out, rots and cracks in just a couple years. Or is that all that is available?

What size is your cable loom in this video ?

Will it be 90C resistant enough?

Does the wiring harness have electrical tape on the wiring harness when it comes on to showroom floor brand new

The same thing is happening to me on my mustang gt. The rest of the engine bay looks good but for the shielding going from the alternator to the battery

make sure the plastic loom is for high temp..or it will happen again very fast.. 3 months in i had to do it all again

what do you call this plastic conduit ?

Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌸

Is the harness tape cloth tape?

@CraigsDIY as always, a brilliant guide. You've helped me fix so many things on my 2002 Mondeo LX. A question for you... I had to replace the battery, but as I've imported my UK Mondeo to Spain, the battery I bought has the + and - terminals situated as such that I can only make the + cable reach the battery. I've bodged a connection from the - cable to the - terminal on the battery, but I'd really appreciate your advice as to how I could make this important connection permanent and secure. Bests, Ian

Hello. It's protact from rat bite?

I’d like to know why manufacturers left a little exposed wires near the connections plug or to the connections. Is it safe to tape this so that those wires will not greatly exposed to heat of the engine and also to prevent deterioration?

Good

Here is another important tip... My 100hp Kubota cab was leaking when it rained. Upon investigating, I found that the split in the plastic covering sleeve was allowing water to run into the wiring from the outside mounted lights! I used black RTV and electrical tape to solve the problem. :)

nice

What is the diameter of the sleeve?

where do you buy harness tape autozone doesnt carry it

The problem with electrical tape is, no matter what brand, no matter how you apply, after short time the end start to peel off

Diameter?

Is that A duratec 2.0/2.3 I spy :P

Great explanation but a lot of work to install ugly corrugated tubing when there's much nicer options, imo. To each their own, though.

Use gorilla tape for long time protection

Why replace with the same stuff that really does not protect it from heat When there is so much better stuff out there like titanium sleeves and fiber glass that will

Just say electric tape

Who put the black conduit with a slice down all through the center, behind the passenger seat ,I am not a mule ,location Triabunna ✝️🚹back off, onion skin👈

YES! "Harness Tape"! Notice it doesn't say "Loom Tape"! STOP calling a bunch of wires a damn "loom". A loom is something for weaving cloth not for routing electricity.

I gave you a thumbs down because that electrical tape will NOT stay stuck to itself with under hood temperatures being what they are.

The Chinese garbage sold in this video will melt and turn brittle in a few months just like the original stuff. Don't waste your time. This guy's just looking to make a few pennies.
