Where to run wire through firewall?


Recommended Posts

Hi all -

Need to run power/ground wires through the firewall in my '17 NX.  Tapping off of a fuse won't work, as the radio (a ham transceiver) draws too much power.

Looks like a real bear to try to get two 16-gauge wires through the firewall, and can't even find an accessible spot to get through.  I'd much rather go through an existing hole (say, one with a grommet) than drill a new hole - but even if I had to do that, looks like a real bear to do.  Any suggestions?

Thanks! 

Edit:  Found a way to run the wires through where the big harness and the hood release go through on the driver's side.  Just ran it through the existing hole; the large rubber grommet still made a good seal, no noise and no drilling.  Got a nice clean install done.
