Abstract
An electrical connecting system for electrically connecting a vehicle door to a vehicle body includes a wiring harness with first and second electrical connectors. The wiring harness extends between the vehicle door and body and is surrounded by a flexible covering which protects the wiring harness from outside contaminants. A fastener holds the first and second electrical connectors securely together and partially extends through the flexible covering such that the fastener is easily accessible. A tight seal is provided between the fastener and the flexible covering and between the flexible covering and the vehicle door and body.
