Lightbulb Anyone Else Have This Poor Wire Wrap?

Was spying around the engine and came across this mess! This can't be right...right?

Wow! Is this a new truck? It almost looks like someone tried to tap into that harness....no WAY that should be that way from the factory!

I went out and peeked at mine when I saw your post, and it is all very tightly and neatly wrapped up.

Spankin new. Just turned 500mi last nite. Got it with 18 miles on her. I don't like the way that looks at all!

Get thee to your dealer ASAP, then. You've got a legitimate complaint there.

Dealer won't do much better IMO. I would just do it myself. That way you know it's done right Bill.

Did the dealer install a remote starter?

agreed... just get a $0.99 roll of electrical tape and wrap it up yourself; save your time and troubles of going to the dealer

When we stripped the interior of my 2010 SCREW to turn it into a K9 Unit we found most of the wiring is crap wrapped like that.

I just bought a 2010 FX4 fully loaded and mine are the same way. If I had time I would bring it back to the dealer but I am working a lot so my first oil change that is on the list along with my passenger front seat leather is messed up.

Just went and looked at mine, and it's nowhere near that bad but the wrapping does seem pretty poor. It's dried up and flaking in a few places.
