| im installing a sound system and need to drill a hole in the firewall near the diver side....but i cannot judge a good spot to drill....anyone know? | |
|
I just installed the trailer hitch wiring and found the "secret" path to get through the firewall. If you look up under the dash, you will find a large gromet with a bundle of wires about the size of a quarter. It is very high under the dash on the driver's side and "outboard." If you look closely at the gromet you will see a "dimple" on the outside ring of the gromet. That dimple actually seems to be an extra hole. I was able to pass a probe through the hole, attach the power wire and pull it back through. I used a mechanical "grabber" as the probe. You might be able to do the same with a coat hanger. Probe must go from inside to outside. The "exit wound" is hidden in the engine compartment. Of course, YMMV. Good Luck. Let us know if you found the path. |

| the wire is about the size of a nickel....will it fit...and its in an 07 rav4 | |
|
I don't know. The hole itself easily threaded a single power wire. I don't know how much space there is to expand that hole. Just Curious. What part of your stereo requires a wire that big?

Replying to: steve_ (Jan 03, 2007 9:03 am) Well, seems I need to load my own photos which I can't do. Hopefully some one can guide me pictureless? Thanks
