cutting the ends of wires is something that's done all the time at  the
u-pull it places.  Grabbing that running board motor?  cut the harness off
two or three feet back, etc.    I've made trips to yards -- on the
customer's dime -- to pull wiring sub-harnesses out of cars.  Cheaper to do
that, even at shop rates, than buy a new one sometimes.
