I have read the stuff on wiring labels but most of my wiring behind the instrument panel is very short and each end terminates in a large connector with 10+ other wires. Most of my avionics wires are less than 18", with the majority closer to 12"
How anal are the DAR's about wiring labels for stuff like that? It seems like connector pinouts in the POH, and laminated somewhere close to the connector for easy viewing are actually more appropriate. There is no way to hook up something wrong once it is hooked up correctly.
Longer wires going to external lights, fuel pumps, etc, will have appropriate labeling. I have maybe a dozen total switches that are individually terminated at the switch. Everything else goes into a large connector, including power and grounds.
