JimmyG the JB weldmaster! You know I woulda thought that dish soap would be the ticket for that as they all tout their grease cutting ability in the ads tho the water getting in the harness would concern me so then I'd have to put em in the oven to dry em out!. what I would do is what you said, scrub em by hand then run em thru the machine

Please tell me you are kidding ? How did you plan to handle all the corrosion that will happen internally from having the wire soaking in water now too perhaps ? (Not like just hosing off the engine bay, where the water is going to run off the loom) I would have just used some liquid/spray degreaser and wiped down the loom with a rag. Orange hand cleaner and a rag works good for cleaning wiring too. Just take your time and do each wire at a time pretty much. Don't even want to think about what chemicals and residue might be left in the dish washer now if you ever washed dishes in it again too.

In my crazy bachelor days, I used to wash parts in my dishwasher. I always de-greased first, then put into the washer. I ALWAYS used the dish washer soap. Using anything else will result in bad foam problems.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I think the PH level of ordinary dishwashing detergent limits its grease cutting ability. A cabinet washer detergent might work better but whatever you use it has to have anti-foaming agents AMHIK

Does your wife know you did that? A little off topic but it reminded me when I first went over to my neighbors house, the back deck was covered with dishes and pans for the dog and cats. Told the wife when I got home , DON"T EVER ACCEPT A DINNER INVITATION OVER THERE.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I used Calgonite to flush out the mess an NTC Cummins oil cooler failure leaves behind in the cooling system. Flush the system twice one box per and milkshake all gone everything shiny new. Don't know if they still make it or not. If you aren't already single, there's a good chance you maybe soon. Kevin
