pop the hood and look for the pcm (your computer for the car). it will be on the passenger side, and there will be 2 bolts holding it in (10 mm i think). remove the computer and there will be a grommet. poke a coat hanger wire through it and attach your wire on the end of the wire. It will be somewhere above the foot area in the floor towards the top right. Hope that is specific enough p)

On a third gen:
On the interior of the car on the passenger front, stick your head in the floor area and look up. You should see where the carpet stops and there is just the meetal for the firewall. Try to eye from the inside of the engine how far in left or right you should drill. It should be about 8- 10 inches from the left and the hole will come out just beside the engine. Now use the plastic tightening strip dealies to attach the wire to anything near the route where you'll be running it to the battery so it wont touch anything too hot. If you have a third gen I can also tell you a good way to run the wire to the back and hide it the whole way.

if it's a 4th gen, then look behind the PCM. That's where I got mine ran through and I've got a 4awg and other wires going through there.
