Hello
Has anyone information on feeding a power wire thru a Chev 2002 Malibu ??
How and where on wall ??

Any information would be appreciated

Tnx John


The way we did it when I worked at a Motorola 2-way shop (70's) was to find
a spot on the firewall that was clear from the outside (engine compartment)
and inside (passenger cabin). Drill a 1" hole using a hole saw. Install a
1" rubber grommet into the hole. Run wires through the hole in the grommet.

On the newer generation of autos, you might have to search a bit to find the
best spot. The spot I always went for was on the driver's side, to the left
of the brake pedal. Somewhere below the master cylinder.

Not as elegant as the proper method, but the way I have been doing it
lately is find the large rubber grommet where the main wiring bundle goes
through the firewall. It usually has a LOT of rubber between the wire
bundle and the firewall metal. I "Carefully" stick a small sharp probe
through the rubber, being cautious not to damage the wire bundle, and then
check the other side visually to see how it looks. Then I remove the
probe and using a sharp knife blade turn that hole into a small slit.

I can then pass my #14 DC wiring, and sometimes a small coax through
this slit.
