A method and apparatus are disclosed for manufacturing harness assemblies comprising two connectors having wires extending between the connectors. The two connectors are positioned adjacent to each other in an insertion zone with the wire receiving portions of terminals in the connectors in alignment. The wires are located in two spaced-apart planes in alignment with the terminals and the wires are moved towards the connectors and into the wire receiving portions of the terminals. Thereafter, the one connector with the wires attached is removed and the other connector is moved through and beyond the insertion zone and wires are pulled from reels and located in the insertion zone in the spaced-apart planes. The cycle is then repeated in placing two additional connectors in the insertion zone between the two planes of wires. A specific apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
