Im running my carter fuel pump up front and im looking for a switched positive to energize the fuel pump. Where can I steal 12v?

fuse panel?

relay board (and run a wire through the tunnel)?

headlights? gauges?

ideas???

relay board dude. I wouldnt further tax the OE electrical system....tell me how you routed it too, bc i have to do the exact same thing.

Okay, off the relay board. How do you route the wire? How about through the fuel return line? Or through the tunnel?

long prong = mikey?

through the tunnel

start from the grommet in the engine bay (center) to bottom of the car and through another grommet in the tunnel......get the wire to the access panel either by the shifter OR by the firewall.....run under carpet and your set...up the passenger footwell and into the front trunk area and down to where you need.

i like games.....guess who?

well I must say that I am humbled that you would think I was mike....

actually this is britt.
I just don't want people to think i'm miles or something

now miles is gonna get me back somehow.

Nah, we knew it was either you or mike.

Okay, so the wire goes in the tunnel up front. But how do I get it out at the firewall? Drill another hole?

any other solutions?

well you do have the spot where your fuel return line is, right? just follow that, or i think I would hit a un-used portion in the tunnel (in your case, the fuel return line grommet thing)....I hate drilling holes....

honestly as a temp fix, i found a hole where the insulating stuff went(in the engine bay), i put the wire through that and through the tar and down the backpad.

Nope....I would use something from Monty Python...like Biggus Dickus....
