Re: power wire ? firewall?

ok on the passenger side below and to the right of the battery there should already be some wires going through the firewall just follow that spot to the inside and figure out how to get them through the hole. i have my amp wire my cobra eye wires and my fog light switch wire going through the whole so its large.

hope that helps

Re: power wire ? firewall?

don't know if it is the same as teggys but to the right and down a little bit from the battery there is a small hole that is pluged by a little rubber peice. The best thing to do is not to take it out, but to cut a small hole it it that way the cord wont move around at all. This is good becsue I have seen people just remove the little rubber filler, and with all the room the cord has to vibrate and rub against the metal it can cause it to get cut into. hope that helps

^^ i removed the plug and drilled a hole in it. but i had a bitch of a time getting the rubber plug 100% back into the hole... so yah, if you can drill through the plug while its still in the whole you'll save yourself a lot of time

Re: power wire ? firewall?

How big of a hole did you drill. you should have made it a bit smaller than the cord so it fits in there reeally tight. That is why I just made a slit. As long as the cord cannot rub up against metal, you are ok, so if the hole is to big, but there is rubber still around it to protect from rubbing against metal, than you are fine.

Re: Re: power wire ? firewall?

i just used a metal hanger and poked a hole through the rubber and then used black electical tape to hold the wire and then pull it through.
