Run wires from engine bay to passenger compartment?

[Mickyblue]

I dont know how, where do i put wires through? without taking all the dash out... i found a spot where a rubber prong stopper thing is in the left side of the engine bay behind the intake manifold, but it has foam behind it, and i'm afraid of poking through it and finding out i cant put wires there... whats the easy way of running wires there?

take the driver's side fender liner out, there's a pass through up in there.

when i ran my pa system i ran the wires thro a rubber plug on the passanger side of the firewall, it just pushed thru and comes out where the feet of a passanger is. if no one beats me to it ill take a picture tomorrow

ok bigbluemonkey, i know what ur talking about, but it has foam there, and goes behind the dashboard, but closer to the floor, is there a spot under the dash i can take appart so i can see up in there? i'm afraid of breaking anything.

[Mickyblue]

should i just break a hole through the foam and run line there and try and look for it?

[Mickyblue]

i tried thru the firewall, it involved taking the bottom part of the dash out, which i couldnt pull off, it didnt want to budge, the glove box didnt want to come out either, and i'm utterly frustrated because i cant get thru the technologoly advanced material called "plastic" without ruining it, someone help me before i cry!!! :sad:

Look on the engine side for any wire harnesses coming through, then poke something through next to it to form a start for running your wires.

Or get a hole saw and drill. Install a grommet then use sealant to finish the job.

could someone take a picture and give me a good idea? i'm totally lost

[Mickyblue]

all the ones i see that you're talking about go into the fender well which go right to my doors, which isnt the firewall.

There is a passage 45 degrees bottom left of the brake booster line on the 4CYL. This hole leads u to the driver side right above the accelerator. I used that hole to do my alarm and fog lights. Much easier than through the fender. Once you get the line through u can run it pass the center console in the back to the passenger side.

Hope this helps

i hope you're right... wait is your camry left hand or right hand drive?

[Mickyblue]

there is no hole above the throttle pedal.... the only hole i could emagine it being there, is if my car wasnt a left had drive, and it was a right hand drive, and adsactly what you said is there, but all my ECU computers are there in the way.

I Camry is Left hand drive. If you look in the engine bay near the brake booster there is a plug that carries the heater cable, just yank that plug (the plug has 3 grooves once you pull it) Once you pull it use any light to shine into the hole and look under the dash 10-15cm above the pedal
