Problem routing manuel fan switch.

Ok well I got the switch hooked up and works great. But I am having trouble getting it into the passenger compartment. I tryed to use shoebox's site but like I dont know where to look when I stick the wire down through the firewall. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Problem routing manuel fan switch.

Trying to get it through the firewall? There is a hole on the pass side. Unbolt the pcms (10mm x 2) and pull it out of the way. Pull the pass side kick panel (several philips screws below the door) and there is a rubber piece with wires running through it.

Thats where my amp wire, n20 line, and all my other wiring runs.

Re: Problem routing manuel fan switch.

take out the pcm. it's a tight fit, but with a good light you can see the factory grommet in the firewall for the main PCM harness. run it through there and then undre the dash. there is already the factory wire harness under the passenger side dash so just tape the wires to the existing. run it down behind the center counsel thing and up through that small panel by the cigarette lighter

Re: Problem routing manuel fan switch.

Easiest with 2 people IMO. Push it through behind where the PCM goes, then pull it through underneath the dash on the passenger side. You'll most likely need to remove the passenger side panel that runs along the door.. there are 4 screws I believe. Then remove the bottom part of the dash, 2 christmas tree plastic things... not sure of the 'official' name hehe. It's not so hard, just get adequate lighting and you can pull it through.

Re: Problem routing manuel fan switch.

The interior side of the grommet is tucked way up under the dash in the corner. You might need a flashlight to see it. You have to stand on your head and look up, lol!

Re: Problem routing manuel fan switch.

yeah, i forget what i had to remove from underneith, but it is best with 2 people. i had my dad push the wire through the grommet from the engine bay. i had a flashlight and just kept looking up under the dash until i saw the wires comnig through. then just grab and pull. make sure to give yourself some slack. u can always tuck that up under the dash.
