Title: wiring again
Post by: crazydog on 10 May 2017, 20:24
hi guys,i have taken a feed wire from the ignition stud on the relay panel,i need to get this single wire through to under bonnet side,i have searched for somewhere i could get it through,, no success,any ideas without taking to many panels off,alternatively is there an ignition fed source under the bonnet i could tap into. all ideas welcome,if neccesary even drilling hole somewhere.  cheers.

It is but you need to take the plastic scuttle out to see where the loom goes into

thanks for info finally got it sorted as re your advice. one thing this will sound stupid, but when i came to put the scittle back all was ok until last bit which was two small pieces of plastic trim one each end of scuttle,no prob when i got them out but i can't figure how they go back i've tried all ways and they dn't fit right nowhere near  cheers.

Any chance those bit should have gone in first, before the scuttle itself? My car is away at the moment or I would check for you.

Not sure if its the same on your but on the right hand side of the scuttle (Underneath near the cabin filter) theres a removable bung that goes just behind the glovebox? as long as you reseal it it should work perfectly, that's how I ran my vacuum hose for my boost gauge.
