EDIT: also is there an "adaptable" option for Cable & Harness, like in other features? If there is, try turning it on and constraining to the blue connector.

I could move the pin away from the connector and then Extrude or Sweep between the wire face and connector face, but I want to avoid creating features/parts that aren't actually a physical part of the product. Cable and Harness is basically already adaptable. Wires are created by choosing beginning and end points (called pins). Points can be added along the wire and moved around to control the shape of the wire. The pins are placed on parts and move around if the parts move around. The wire automatically takes a realistic shape based on the pins and points. So I meant that I was creating points that were in a direct line from the pin, but they didn't make the wire exactly straight.
