Q about Routing wires to the engine compartment
What do you guys think is a good way to route a couple of wires from the cockpit to the engine compartment. I would like to hook up my keyless entry to the horn and running lights for visual and audio confirmation. I just wanted to know if there is an easy way to get the wires there before I start drilling unnecessary holes. Thanks in advance!

if theyre small wires just try and use the existing main wire grommet behind the steering wheel area.

First of all DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT drill ANYTHING trough the firewall, just pass the cables trough the main wire grommet, it may be tricky but it works, it is rubber so you can stretch it...

Turn Signal(L) *lt. green *+ *fuse box, top L, 30 pin plug, pin 27 Turn Signal(R) *yellow *+ *fuse box, top L, 30 pin plug, pin 28 Be sure to test all of your wire connections... As for running the wires through the door, the easiest thing to do is to remove the boot totally and try to anticipate any wires you may need in the future so you only have to do it once. 1. Remove the speaker from the door. DSC09636.JPG 2. Remove the bolt that restricts the door from opening all the way. DSC09640.JPG 3. Unplug the wire harness from the kick. DSC09638.JPG 4. Pop out the plastic plugs that hold the harness in the door. DSC09637.JPG 5. The rubber boot should be free, just pop it out (car side first). DSC09641.JPG 6. Set up all your wires, tape them together and start to snake them through making sure that you follow the route of the wire harness. DSC09643.JPG 7. Last, I like to tape up the wires and make it look as much like a factory job as possible (I use white tape so you know it's not) . DSC09644.JPG Put it all back together and your done. One more thing to remember, if your running new speaker wire you can count the factory speaker wires as an extra set of wire for future use. Hope this was helpful. Wayside |

I'm pretty sure my buddy drilled the firewall to get my power wire to the amps. I'm afraid to ask why this shouldn't be done. |
