It took me a good few hours to get my power through. As long as you can locate the grommet, it's un the passenger side footwell behind the plastic lining, you should be able to cut a chunk of it out and poke it through. I found it slighyly easier to cut the grommet from the underside of the car, not by much though. I used 4 gauge and had to cut it with a hobby knife a lot [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] Good Luck!

there should be a plug where your wires go through in the passenger side firewall, you should be able to push the rubber plug to the side and run your wire through the gap left from moving the rubber. i used zero guage, and had no problem.

I did it the old fashion way: I unbent a wire coathanger and shoved it through the grommet, then taped the end of my wire to one of the ends of the coat hanger and pulled it through the rest of the way...worked like a charm

I have an 02 and the rubber plug was inbetween the passenger and driver seats on the firewall. I just took a knife and cut a small hole, then pushed the wire through.
