  • Patent number: 4336975
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a harness for a portion of an automotive electrical system and, more particularly, to a harness which is adapted to be clamped to a solenoid carried to an automotive starter such that the starter can be "dropped" or removed from the engine, along with the solenoid, and once the starter is repaired or replaced, the electrical harness of this invention is utilized to connect electrical conductors to the starter solenoid through a quick disconnect connector whereby at any future time that the starter need be again removed and/or replaced, the quick disconnect coupler is simply uncoupled and the starter, the solenoid and the associated harness are bodily removed, repaired and bodily replaced, thus making the task of removing and replacing starters far less cumbersome and much more rapid than has been accomplished in the past.
