Abstract: A steering column wire protector for securely positioning and protecting wiring with respect to a steering column while permitting both axial and rotational movement of the wiring relative to the steering column in response to adjustment of a steering wheel to which the wiring is connected. The wire protector includes a bracket fixed to the wall of the steering column and a carrier supporting and holding a portion of the wiring. A slide pin formed on the carrier cooperates with a guide track in the bracket to permit the carrier to slide axially along the bracket as well as to pivot relative to the steering column axis. The wiring is preferably taped to the carrier. The carrier and bracket can be removably joined for shipment and handling purposes.

Abstract: In a combination junction box/fuselink relay box system comprising separate junction and fuselink relay boxes adapted to be mechanically coupled, the junction box and fuselink relay box are each provided with complementary fuselink socket portions which mate to form a common fuselink socket when the junction box and fuselink relay box are coupled. A fuselink inserted in the common socket provides direct electrical connection between the junction and fuselink relay boxes, eliminating the need for intermediate wire connection between the junction box and fuselink relay box.
