Even using the split corrugated cable cover would help. Cars came with this originally so I can only assume it was for this reason in the decade of decomposing wiring harnesses! You may have already done this as I saw in one picture a short piece in place.

Thanks!

I'm going to wrap ALL the wiring in conduit. I just started with the roll of 1/4" stuff I already had.
