R-X-R · 10-08-2009, 07:20 PM

How did u guys install the power cable to the battery on ur protege ? did u make a hole or did u use an existing slot?

R-X-R · 10-10-2009, 03:57 PM

anyone? i am trying to install one .,.,. i am sick of being upside down underneath the stearing column. lol

I could go snap a pic real quick but theres a hole I put mine through almost right behind the battery. Its like a rubber grommet on the firewall you have to push the cable through.

**edit**
I forgot I cut a hole into the right side of the rubber piece on the firewall. Be careful not to hit any wires

thanks a lot bro.,., i was looking at there too,.,but didnt want to make a hole. how hard was it? again thanks man.,.,.let me go get my drill

2k3 PrO RiDa · 10-10-2009, 04:23 PM

Not hard at all. I used an exacto knife to slice through it. The toughest part is getting the cable pulled through to the interior, but I guess that just depends on what gauge of cable you use.

R-X-R · 10-10-2009, 04:56 PM

I put my wires through the rubber gromet under the steering wheel. I cut a hole with an exacto blade. Haven't noticed any leaks, been working fine, been there for over a year.
