Then who designed the harness? Usually a company designs something and then has another company manufacture it for them. Or if the supplier did actually design it, then it was Mr K's responbility, assuming he was the senior engineer on the electrical side of things, to review the design before allowing them to build it for Ford. You don't just hand something off to a outsourcing company and say here do whatever you need to do and I'll take your word that it's done right. There is always a review process somewhere. It should have been caught by someone.
