where does everyone run the wires through the fire wall - North American Grand Cherokee Association

violatedppl · 01-31-2006, 08:04 PM

I have had trouble trying to find a spot to run wires for my aux lights and PA speaker I am trying to put in. I have yet to find an some what open spot to run the wires through, And I was wondering what everyone else has done to kinda give me an idea where would be a good spot to run mine. Pics would be a plus, thanks

actually i had that same question...but i have heard of simply drilling a new hole in the firewall????

driver's side floor board. It's near the center console. When looking into the engine, there should be a rubber plug to the left of the window washer fluid and to the right of the air intake. It's there and is easy to get to.

Here's from the engine...it's near the transmission dip stick

Here's from the driver side floor board area...use the gas as a reference.

thats quite common. just make sure you know what is on the other side when you drill. and make sure you seal it up well once you run the wire through to the other side.

When I ran my fogs I ran the wire through the fire wall where the fuse panel wire came through

on my 93 i was able to pull off the plate where the clutch would go through if you had a manual tranny. Im running 0 GA and a few other things through it so i needed some sereus space. Idk if that plate exists on nwere models because i know they dropped the manual tranny option shortly after my 93

I punched a hole through the firewall right by the throttle cable. It was the only relatively flat section that I could get my drill to. I only have one 12gua wire going through, so the hole isnt too big. I plugged it up with some RTV and its now watertight as well.

yea, drilling isn't the bet idea. i learned this the hard way. 2 minutes later after drilling through my transmission control module and only being able to use 2nd and 4th gear i learned the hard way.....
