Buyer FAQ: MOQ, lead time, drawings, warranty

A full vehicle wiring harness is the complete set of electrical looms in a vehicle — engine and ECU, body and cabin, dashboard, chassis and rear body — assembled as matched sub-assemblies that connect at defined splice points. A modern passenger car carries 1,500 to 3,000 circuits and, in high-specification vehicles, more than 3 miles (about 5 km) of wire.

Primarily the aftermarket and low-volume specialist production: distributors, independent workshops, fleet operators, body builders and converters. New-vehicle line supply requires OEM nomination, PPAP Level 3 and a program audit; we support that only for low-volume and specialist vehicle builders.

Yes, and it is most of what we do. We measure the sample, map every circuit and connector, identify the connector series and produce a drawing for your approval. The drawing becomes your document, so the part is repeatable and can be second-sourced later.

50 sets per part number for production. One unit is accepted as a paid sample so you can verify fitment before committing to a batch.

24 hours for anything where you can supply an OEM part number, VIN or clear photos of the loom and its label. Two to three days if we need to reverse-engineer from a sample that has to reach us first.

Typically USD 320–1,450 per set for a passenger car or light commercial vehicle, driven by circuit count, connector count and whether high-voltage sections are included. Pickups and chassis-cabs sit at the upper end; a simple supermini body loom sits at the lower end.

No. We manufacture aftermarket replacement harnesses built to OEM fitment and circuit specification. We do not sell genuine OEM parts and we do not label our product with another manufacturer's brand.

Sumitomo, Yazaki, Aptiv/Delphi, TE Connectivity, Molex, KET and JAE, in the original series wherever it is still available. Where a housing is obsolete we propose a documented equivalent and get your written approval before production.

Shielded 600 V and 800 V cable, orange jacket, HVIL interlock loop and IP67 connectors. Each assembly is hipot hipot tested at 3000 V AC with >200 MΩ insulation resistance at 1000 V DC. We do not build HV looms without a signed specification.

24 months or 50,000 km against manufacturing defect — crimp failure, wrong circuit, insulation damage, connector defect. Installation damage, water ingress through a damaged grommet and customer modifications are excluded.

Yes. Samples and urgent fleet repairs go by express air. Production batches go by sea freight FOB, CIF or DDP. Looms are coiled and labeled per part number; volume orders can use returnable racks.

Commercial invoice, packing list, HS code declaration, certificate of origin, per-unit electrical test record, and RoHS/REACH declarations on request. EU shipments include the material declaration required for customs.

Yes. We print your brand on the label, the carton and the drawing header, and we do not include our own branding. Private label requires a minimum of 200 sets per part number.

Yes. Many repairs only need a hinge loop, an injector sub-loom or a door-grommet section. Section looms are cost less, ship faster and avoid disturbing circuits that are still healthy.

Yes. Both describe the same product: wires cut to length, terminated, bundled and protected for a defined routing. “Wire harness” or “wiring harness” is the usual term in North America; “wiring loom” or “cable loom” is the usual term in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia and much of Africa and the Middle East. Purchase orders often say “harness assembly”. A cable assembly is a narrower part, normally a single cable run with connectors at both ends.

They are named by the area they serve: engine harness (or engine room harness), main or body harness, floor harness, instrument panel or dash harness, door harness, chassis harness, rear body or tail harness, HVAC harness, ADAS or sensor harness, and the high-voltage harness on hybrid and electric vehicles. Naming varies between manufacturers, so we quote against the OEM part number rather than the name.

Yes, and we do not recommend universal looms for a repair. Every harness we build is vehicle-specific: correct branch lengths for the chassis code, the original connector series for each ECU, BCM and sensor, and the original circuit count. That is what makes it plug in without adapters, jumper wires or re-pinning.

Usually yes. Send the OEM part number, the VIN, or a photo of the label on the old loom together with the chassis code and engine variant. We cross-reference the connector family and confirm the circuit list against the platform data we already hold for that vehicle, then send a drawing for your approval before production.

Yes. LHD and RHD vehicles route the dash, door and body looms differently, and some circuits change position with the steering side. Tell us the market and the steering side when you order, because a RHD dash harness will not fit a LHD vehicle even when the part number looks similar.
