1. A door wiring module, comprising:
a door planar member incorporated into a door to partition an inner side and an outer side of a vehicle; and
a wiring member held by the door planar member, wherein
the door planar member includes an inner side surface directed to the inner side of the vehicle and an outer side surface directed to the outer side of the vehicle,
a wiring groove is formed in the inner side surface,
at least a part of the wiring member is housed in the wiring groove,
a guide protruding part, which guides water, is formed in the outer side surface,
at least a part of the guide protruding part is formed along at least a part of the wiring groove,
the wiring groove is a groove surrounded by a bottom part and a pair of lateral parts upstanding from two facing longitudinal edges of the bottom part,
at least a part of the pair of lateral parts and/or a part of the bottom part protrudes from the outer side surface to form at least the part of the guide protruding part,
the guide protruding part includes a first inclined part and a second inclined part, the first inclined part inclines downward toward a back side of the vehicle,
the second inclined part inclines upward toward the back side of the vehicle,
a back end of the first inclined part and a front end of the second inclined part meet at a confluence position such that water is guided to the confluence position, and
the door wiring module further includes a discharge port provided below the confluence position to discharge water outside the door from the discharge port.
