hey guyz im just wondering if anyone can tell me the easiest and safest way to feed a wire from my batter to my interior in my 2000 ek cxi, i tried following where all the current wires feed through but its a damn twisty path and i cant seem to feed the wires through that by hand, im just wondering how else other people have gone about it?

sticky tape the wires to a cloth hanger. Straighten the cloth hanger and *poke poke* in the hole

it you go in from the passenger side it will appear underneath the glove box. drivers side will be behind the fuse box.
this is the best method for any wiring from the battery.

yeah, just make sure there is no burrs or sharp edges and the hanger will slip right past the other wires. that said, don't use excessive force. Take ur' time, wires are pretty tough but can still stress or even break internally if you are too heavy handed. Make sure any wire that terminates directly from the battery is suitably fused or has a breaker!!! the closer to the battery the better.
