Pulling my wire harness out to clean, inspect, repair and re-lace.
Stuck at the last 1 or 2? plugs behind the driver side of the heater assembly. Some of the harness here goes down to the airbag sensor box, EDIT: the rest goes to the rear seats and various stops on the way/
Real issue here is that it appears to be pinned fairly badly between my heater assembly and the firewall, This does not seem good. To my knowledge my heater assembly has never been removed for service, but I have seen things get pinched after the jeep flexed wildly in the trail.
As I dig thru the FSM for this info, can anyone let me know

1. where the remaining harness goes? EDIT: found this info in my FSM
2. if it's normal for the routing to be crammed in this spot?
3. if there is a assessable bolt that i can loosen to give me some wiggle room to free this wire bundle?

Picture is taken from driver side, where the stearing wheel would nomally be. That firewall grommet below my harness is the transmission cable for a landmark.
