Is it possible to replace an automotive wiring harness with PCB?

Is it possible to replace an automotive wiring harness with PCB? Bijvoorbeeld, just have the cables attached on either end of the circuit to eliminate a bunch of messy cableage in between.

That can be realized with the help of micro-controllers, but you have to use high clock rate MCUes with this.
Divide sections into 3 parts. Central, Front and rear.

  1. Take all the inputs such as light switches, brake paddle switches, etc to Central MCU. Remember switches with interrupt handling.
    ·Serialise the data with I2C or CAN or USART or any sort of serial communication.
  2. Make rear en front receiver parts with used serial methods.
    and you are done.
Voordelen Nadelen
Less wiring

Less loss of voltage

Digital

Flexibel

Can add more features

Lots of programming

Spike’s from the spark plug does harm your serialised signals.

MUC is low voltage device

Motorbike is Hot and high voltage.

More Isolations and more circuit complexity.

(Remark: Volgens our experience, more attention should be attached on voltages and external noise.)

How can I electrically isolate a PCB from a heat sink?

I have a set of LED driving lights for motorcycle that must be wired through a ground-leg pulse width modulation dimmer. The problem is the mounting bracket for the lights is grounded, so the lamp shorts to ground through the motorcycle chassis and the PWM dimmer cant dim the lamps. How do I handle this problem?
