Abstract
A process for replacing a multi-functional original installed harness for a harness or cable for a mobile vehicle in a efficient and time saving manner. More specifically, the procedure involves: (i) identifying the critical electrically engaged components engaged to a multi-functional original installed harness for an engine that requires replacement; (ii) disconnecting the original installed electrical harness from only those critical components; (iii) running an electrical service overlay harness physically adjacent to the original harness; and (iv) engaging the critical components to the service overlay harness. This triage-like repair saves a significant amount of time and effort. The critical components for a vehicle are those in which an electrical fault in a circuit in the multi-functional original installed harness will result in the engine of the vehicle failing to start, failing to run, or will provide a service light or fault light to the driver in the cab of the vehicle indicating the need for immediate service.
