    I need to get these red and yellow wires through the cabin into the engine bay. Any ideas? The wires are on the passenger side too. I've been working on this stupid thing all day. Help please!

    Re: Wiring help

    i wired my 4 AWG power and ground (for my headunit) through a grommet just to the left of the battery, just got to cut the nipple off and get the wire through. I fed the wire through some foam insulation and only had to make a small hole. Of course I went from the battery IN to the cabin instead of what it looks like your doing. and take the glove box off before you even dream of getting that wire where you want it to go. GL

    edit: looks like 12 AWG twisted cable on the floor, what are you up to?
    Black and Silver...thats it

    Be careful taking off the glove box - I scratched my center console a little bit when I was setting it onto the floorboard. The sharp edge of the box rubbed the plastic of the console.

    Re: Wiring help

    Sharpen and straighten a coat hanger and use one of the grommets mentioned. Poke a hole with the hanger, then tape your wires to the coat hanger and pull through from the engine bay side
