Abstract
A wire retaining clip for guiding bundled wires extending from an electrical connector mounted to a power distribution box and securing the wires to the box to prevent vibration of the wires from causing them to separate from their terminals. The wire retaining clip is molded in a single piece and comprises a connector cover which snaps into attachment with the electrical connector to secure the wire terminals therein and a wire guide member attached to the cover by a living hinge. The wire guide member encloses the wires and routes them around an edge of the power distribution box and along a second surface of the box. The wires are taped or otherwise secured to the wire guide member, and a lock mechanism on the wire guide member engages cooperating means on the power distribution box to secure the wires to the box.
