Yo I'm trying to find a place on my VE SV6 to run some small wires through. I've had a look in the engine bay an seen where some other looms have gone in but I don't wanna touch them. The wires need to go to the center console/ under driver seat area, so where the easiest grommet to access




Thanks

Could use the hole for the clutch master cylinder (assuming its auto). Easier to just go through with the other wires on the passenger side though

Nah I got manual, where's the passé her side grommets?? They heaps easier?

I took a grommet that was by itself out on the drivers side right under the wiper motor, I don't know where it goes, I'll try find it but if passenger side is easier then I'll have a look where??

Thanks

got it anyways, the grommet under the wiper motor goes straight through to the top of the accelerator pedal, just running it under carpet/trim

I also need to get power when the ignition is turned on. Which part of the loom is best to tap into for this? easier to open the fusebox with multimeter/test lamp and find an ignitionon wire and connect it to that? just didnt want to draw too much current out of one lead and keep blowin fuses. CHEEEEEEEERS

use the spare plug for the cigarette lighter on the right hand side at the front under the console top.
