A senior tech's comment on my wire routing saved me hours

I had this older guy watch me dress a harness on a King Air last month. He just said 'you're fighting yourself with those ties, let the wire breathe a little'. I was pulling everything super tight and flat against the frame. So I loosened up, left small service loops near the connectors, and used way fewer zip ties. My next install took about 45 minutes less and looked cleaner too. Anyone else get a simple tip from a graybeard that totally changed their method?

Well actually those service loops can cause interference if you don't secure them right.

Yeah the "if you don't secure them right" part is key, I see that same issue pop up everywhere. @juliarodriguez it's like how people leave loose cables in their car and wonder why the radio goes static. There's always some small thing that messes up the whole setup if you overlook it.
