RUNNING WIRES THROUGH THE DOOR JAMBS OF A 2007 TOYOTA YARIS IS THE MOST ANNOYING TASK IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND!!!!!!!!!O@IJ(OIH@(*ERHJ@R(HJWurq9rew9parj2 r209roheo

Its not that hard. You can pop the boot out of either side pretty easily. Run a piece of stiff wire through first and tape your flaccid ones to it.

I used a wooden chopstick which worked quite well.

But yes, it's a pain in the ass.
Having a 5-DR Yaris means I have twice the fun with wiring through the boots.

You have caught the anal wiring disease that struck Violin earlier. Just be simple and tuck em under the mirror trim.

What's the reason for running the wires at the door jambs?

I rewired my power windows for a different switch mounting location. I like the new setup a LOT better.

Black Yaris · 07-30-2007, 01:19 AM

where did you move them to? no longer in the center?

Black Yaris · 07-30-2007, 01:21 AM

I just ordered some fogs from Jimcat, so I am going to have some fun wiring myself here in a week or so when they show up

Speaker wire, lighting wire, anything electrical should be wired through the boot of the door jams.

Pull off one side of the boot and you'll see several electrical wires for door locks, windows, etc. because any electrical wiring should be tucked away neatly and not come into contact with moisture.
