Hi everyone,
I have a 9n and i was wondering if someone could shed some light regarding a question i have.
I need to pass two small wires from the drivers cabin/dashboard to the engine bay so that i can install a volt meter.
Can someone please tell me where to route them from.
Pics would be very helpful.
Thanks

Re: wire harness passage
Silly question, but can you not just take the 12V feed from somewhere behind the dash?

Re: wire harness passage
I'd rather not....two main reasons.
1st. i m against the idea of having to chop off the main or any sub harness
2nd. the volt meter i m about to install is the ctek 56-531 where you can also plug your charger.
So, preferably, and for various other reasons i would like to take the wires direcrly to the battery.
Any idea where from can i route the wires,to the engine bay?

Re: wire harness passage
Fair enough - understand your reasons
The below post has it documented pretty well

Normally the grommet behind the ABS pump is quite popular, but there are a few other choices.
