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? |

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? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) 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. |
