Abstract
A vehicle bumper assembly includes an elongated energy absorbing member, a plurality of mounting members, a wiring harness and a bumper fascia. The elongated energy absorbing member is dimensioned to extend between first and second sides of a vehicle. The energy absorbing member has an inboard facing surface, an outboard facing surface and an upper surface disposed between the inboard and outboard facing surfaces. The mounting members are longitudinally spaced along the upper surface of the energy absorbing member, each of the mounting members having a wire attachment structure. The wiring harness is coupled to the wire attachment structures of the mounting members such that the wiring harness is supported longitudinally above the upper surface of the energy absorbing member at the mounting members. The bumper fascia fits over the energy absorbing member thereby concealing the wiring harness.
