A wire-harness device that can be preconfigured for a predetermined automotive subassembly, including one or more plastic sheets wrapped around the plurality of insulated wires between discrete portions forming one or more branches to allow bending at the discrete portions and maintain stiffness between the discrete portions. A three-dimensional arrangement of the wrapped wires can be formed by bending at the discrete portions. The three-dimensional arrangement forms a predefined shape for positioning against walls of a housing of the subassembly in an orientation for connection at predetermined locations of the subassembly. A pair of straps are wrapped around the plastic sheet at each end for holding the plastic sheet in place. Each stiff wrapped sheet provides rigidity and containment to protect wires from abrasion and pinching, while simplifying installation into automotive subassemblies.
