The problems facing the wiring harness designer are those of reducing size and weight in addition to meeting cost and reliability objectives, while incorporating many additional circuits. Harness miniaturisation, facilitated by the development of miniature automotive cables will provide a short term solution. Although modular harness systems have advantages in vehicle assembly, they are not capable of solving the long term problems. A multiplexed control system is potentially capable of satisfying future design objectives, but much remains to be done to develop a reliable system at reasonable cost. A non-multiplexed remote switching system, as described, is capable of satisfying size, weight, cost and reliability objectives with largely proven technology and short development times, and is also capable of expansion to a full multiplex system on a step by step basis.
