1. A wiring member, comprising:
a plurality of electrical wires;
a connector to which an end portion of each of the plurality of electrical wires is connected; and
a waterproof member formed by a sheet material bended along an outer shape of the connector to cover a periphery of the connector, wherein
the connector is a joint connector including a connector housing in which a plurality of cavities are formed and a joint terminal connecting the plurality of electrical wires,
the waterproof member includes a first sheet part as a part of the sheet material to cover the connector housing and a second sheet part as another part of the sheet material to cover a part of the plurality of electrical wires extending from a back surface of the connector housing,
the first sheet part is formed by bending the sheet material to cover a region including a front surface, an upper surface, and a side surface continuously formed in the connector housing,
the sheet material which has not been bended is connected in a part corresponding to two edge portions of any of an edge portion between the front surface and the upper surface, an edge portion between the front surface and the side surface, and an edge portion between the upper surface and the side surface, and is separated in a part corresponding to a remaining one edge portion.
