      I've been retired for a few years now, so am not right up to date. In my day, the customers designed the wire harnesses. Most of them used Pro-E (or whatever that is called today). Because they never took the time to enter the parameters of the components, their designs were full of errors. We developed in-house software to cross-reference all the items they specified (wire, terminals, seals, connectors), and sent them a list of errors, which they sometimes repaired on their drawings. Otherwise, we just made the corrections ourselves, frequently getting in trouble with their quality departments because our harnesses weren't (and couldn't be) "built to print". As I was exiting the field, more and more customers were putting pressure on the harness suppliers to design the harnesses for them. (Of course they didn't want to pay for that!)​

    I worked at car restorations with a friend as a hobby from 1982 to 2000.
    The first one I restored was a 1952 Chevy pickup. We didn’t have a wiring diagram, but the harness was so simple that we didn’t need one.
    The next one was a different story. It was a 1970 302 Boss. There was nothing wrong with it mechanically or bodywise. The insurance company totaled it because of faults in the wiring harness. I found out from an adjuster that insurance companies considered wiring harnesses to be unreparable after 5 years because the insulation gets brittle and cracks when disturbed.
    Fortunately, we had a source that could get us original wiring diagrams for almost anything. I designed a pegboard that allowed me to run all the wires before termination and looming based on a film I had seen on late night TV showing a wiring harness being built in the 60’s. The Boss was the first time I tried it, and it worked perfectly. The assessor never even noticed it wasn’t original.
    The only reason I stopped was because I only knew wiring and my friend died (he was 80).
    We preffered pre 1980 cars because after that there were so many different types of wire required that it was costing a fortune.
    We always tried to restore to factory original, with the exception of paint. We left that up to the buyers.
    I did it as a hobby, but it was a business for my friend. He actually believed Social Sucurity would be enough, so he needed the money.
    My favorite was a 72 Challenger, but the most impressive was a 73 Duster. That car was just a freak. Unfortunately, the buyer wrecked it a week after he bought it.
    We salvaged the drive train, and we were going to put it in a street rod, but we never finished it.
    We did about 6 cars a year, mostly muscle cars. I look at the wiring harnesses in today’s cars and I don’t have a clue.

      You would probably enjoy wiring a modern race ECU from scratch, Im doing exactly that for my 89 MR2 SC and updating it with modern individual coils and wastegate control and sensors, its taught me quite a lot, especially since Im using the stock motor and stock chassis harness.
      Also as someone who also works on modern cars as a mechanic professionally, I can say its given me a lot better understanding of the core functions of a modern wiring harness, without all the VVT controls and useless sensors and bs.
      I fucked up the first attempt at the wiring harness and now I'm going back to use mil spec connectos and do concentric twisting, then cover it all in heatshrink rather than the vinyl mesh type I used before. Its been a hell of a learning process and the projected cost has tripled, but the final result is all going to be worth it I know.

When he was done, it looked so good his customer decided to leave it open engine instead of hood and side panel style cowling. Really made it pop.
      Personally, the most confusing I ever did was a 1960 VW Bug. It took forever to wrap my head around how it worked. That was when I realized you have to understand it to build it properly.
      I was an instrument and controls tech for most of my career. My hobby contributed greatly to my successful career. Before I retired, I was getting calls from all over the western US to come and rebuild control systems from plant managers who had seen my work.

    One of the biggest changes in the automotive wiring is 10Base-T1S standard. This is basically 10Mbps ethernet, but over a single pair (normal 10Base-T uses 2 pairs, and 1000Gbps uses 4 pairs). It is a high speed, muilti-drop and optionally collision-less standard, that is highly compatible with standard ethernet. There are also 100 and 1000 Mbps variants (more for cameras and lidar applications), as well a separate but similar standard called 10Base-T1L, with high range (it is not used in automotive, with primary applications being industrial and building automation). They can also provide power to low power devices without extra cabling.
    In cars, these standards will likely displace CAN, LIN, and other similar tech, either by native Ethernet / IP traffic, or tunneling CAN and LIN. The estimated benefits are reducing cost and weight of the wiring harness by half, while providing higher performance.

      Cannon really changed the game for a lot of industries. I work in live entertainment and daily we use various forms of the XLR connector, which started out as the Cannon X series, then they added the latch feature, so it became the XL connector and then they added the rubber insulation between the pins on the female side, resulting in the final XLR connector that every sound and lighting tech uses daily. Though these days most XLR connectors are manufactured by Neutrik or Amphenol.

    15:15 What all of these bad boys have in common is that they are pretty tough to seperate without breaking thier locking mechanisim. Especially when they are caked up with dirt.
    21:25 This by the way works only semi well in practice. Since every manufacturer is allowed to be thier own special shade of wierd and only a few of the diagnostic codes are normed for emmisson related errors. Even expensive and fancy interfaces like Gutman or Autel Struggle to get anything out of lets say something goofy like an Iveco Daily.
    The bus systems in general are among the most bullet proof things on cars today. That is as long as a manufacturer doesnt suffer from the big dumb and decides to expose the wires to places where they can break from bending or scrape open from bottoming out. (Yea ive seen this before)
    22:50 Biggest thing about HV vehcles is that instead of having the chassi as a ground it runs HV-ground back to the battery via a seperate wire. All HV wires are bright orange and are constantly being checked by a pilot line. Even if you really wanted to hurt your self with the HV system youd need to be very intentional and know what youre doing.

    You just earned yourself a new subscriber. Brilliantly done video. I'm a car guy and I love cars. I also love learning about the evolution of cars and car components.
    And you've got it all. Great footage, very good animation, good script, great editing, going into details including specs and standards and a pleasant voice and no begging for subs and likes. Keep it up my man! You're awesome!

    As an automobile electrical harness engineer myself, working for customers like Piaggio, Aprilia and sometimes Isuzu, it takes so much effort & focus to accurately prepare a single harness & much more hassle for consistent mass production.

    As an Embedded electronics engineer, I can say, like many others here, that this video is just brilliant! I particularly loved the way you presented the humble beginnings of the automotive industry, comparison with aviation, advancements in chemical engineering, to the description of the communication protocols. In the beginning of the video, I was expecting CAN would get a brief mention, but you went way beyond it! I wish a content this good was available when I was a student 😊

    Very well done. You incorporated a lot of good pics and videos. Only missing one terminal connector, but well before your time. I had a 1908 installed elevator, that may have been the very first ring terminals. (Stakons)
    To make connections of up to #6 copper wire, they took a 1-1/4" length of 1/4" copper tubing, flatten one end and drill a hole in it. Then they soldered a wire on one end and could either put the flattened end on a terminal or bolt them back-to-back in a motor box. Brilliant for 125 years ago😁

    As an apprentice auto technician, the starting point of my career basiclly socked with moedrn electronic control system, everything are digitized and electrified.
    Even through my experience and skill are still limited, I can tell that on modern cars, mechanical problems are actually less than older vehicles yet harder to fix, since most times they are burried by wires and connectors.
    Electrical problem on the other hand, are far more frequent and odd (I mean differs on each vehicle), other then some common issues usually lead by poor design or manufacture defect (I blame budget control in most cases), two identical symptoms may casued by totally different cause on two same vehicles.
    To me, the can or lin bus system itself is very reliable, wires do not just go bad as time passed (some will, high heat or outer element do destory them), connectors are also fine in most cases unless high current burns them out, but acutators and sensors are not, they do tend to go bad without warning some times.
    Now we are living in an era that EVs may wipe out ICE cars (Please don't, I pray for it), I am curious about what is coming next on vehicle control system.

    With the raise of more digital systems and interconnectivity in cars also raised the risk of theft. In a documentary I saw a thief using a handheld device to start the car. A similar thing told me an elevator technician: Cyber security became a new thing in the industry because elevators become more connected. For example calling the elevator from your hotel room or your phone.

    As somewhat of a 3d printing nerd, its insane how much technology came from the Automotive sector. From basic things such as ABS, PP, and NYLON, to essential connectors such as Canbus and SPI; it all came from the Automotive sector 😲
