A while back I got my hands on a scrap dash harness out of a Dualis+2. I've been stripping strands out of this on occasion, to build new harnesses for all the electrical stuff I've added to the Patrol.
This weekend I decided to completely disassemble the thing because it's becoming a bit of a crow's nest. I separated everything out into different colours, so now it's easier to grab just the bag with the colour I want to use.
But now I have some questions... There are a few wires that are twisted together in pairs. They're not shielded or insulated separately and ran with the rest of the wires throughout the harness. Always two wires, never more.
Question is; why are these like this? What is the purpose/benefit?
If I'm building new harnesses, should I be doing the same? (It does make it easier to route them through confined spaces if they're like this.)
If I can do this, can I do more than two at a time?
