    Drilling Firewall question???

    I want to put a underbody neon kit under my car but i have to put a switch on the inside of my car. To do this i have to put a wire through the firewall.

    Wheres the best place to drill?
    Are there any holes in the firewall already that i can poke a wire through?
    I dont want to drill a hole really.

    Don't know about the 3.4 but on the 3.8 there is a grommet behind the PCM on the passenger side that leads from the engine bay to the cabin.

    Just pull out the PCM and go through there.

    I'd THINK there's a grommet there as well, check the passenger side.

      I did see that, but it looks like its down low and i dont want to unbolt the pcm. my friend has jack stands so ill see if i can poke a wire through from underneath the car.

      Does anybody know where this hole leads to??

        Dont drill anything, Run the power from ur fuse panel, and run it threw the floor groemts under teh driver and passenger footwell. Works great.

          Use a wire coat hanger to help feed it through. You have to take off the panel under the glovebox and the long one running the length of the passenger door.

            this is how i did it when i put fog lights in my car and needed to wire them to a switch in my interior. there's a big thing of wires going inside on the driver's side. right above it is a real small hole that i was able to feed the wires through. hope this helps, the webpage has pics of it

              behind the pcm is the easiest. it's only 4 bolts to remove the pcm. easy. then you have to remove the passanger kick panel, (two plastic screw-things) and you can see that grommet from there.

                I agree. It's very easy.

                  Im putting neons on the inside of my car but i took out the cigarette lighter and put a switch there i just pulled up the plastic around there and connected a multi-tap cigar lighter on the inside and hooked everything up there its all hidden i m not sure if you could do that somehow by running it from under the car to there or if it would be enough power but just thought i would share it with you and see if it could help
