there is a large grommet on the drivers side that the factory wires go through. You can make a small cut with a knife, then stick a long screw driver through it. Get on your back in the drivers floor and look for the screw driver and make sure that it is not tangled in any other wires. What I like to do is to take a light and make some kind of brace to hold it on the screw driver from the passnger compartment. Now go back out and if force the screwdriver to the side, and you will be able to see your light from inside and it will illuminate the hole. Simple feed as much wire as you can through that lit up hole, and then go inside and pull as much through as you can or as much as you need and your through the fire wall.

Is it an auto or a manual? Manual that is the way you do it throught that big grommet, if and auto there a grommet that has nothing running throught(that is were the shift cable runs throught on the manuals) it is to the right of the steering column. Just pop it out and take a knife cut a small hole and put the grommet back in a run your wire throught. Just dont let it get in the way of the steering column.

thanks for the advice worked perfect even though it was a little rough fitting a 0-gauge wire through there [&:]
