wires thru the firewall
Okay, i give. I need to run some wires thru the firewall in my 97 Honda Civic HX but i can't seem to find a current opening i can use anywhere. I don't want to drill a new hole cause i can't tell if there is or isn't something in the way on the other side. okay, okay, i know i'm looking for the easy way to do this but i'll also take the hard way if anyone can help. thanks.

I usually take a clothes hanger and poke a hole through an existing wire harness grommet rubber thingy and pull the wire through with the hanger.

There is a grommet under your battery tray on the passenger side. Remove it and snake a coat hanger through the hole.. It'll take some work but it will come out under the carpet on the passenger side.

Re: wires thru the firewall (Ponch)
I pushed mine through the grommet under the passengers side of the dashboard *underneath*. Ive run wires for my alarm and my power wire for my sub...so it shouldnt be hard to get 1 or 2 in there!!

i forgot to replace the grommet when i did mine....BIIIIG mistake. cut a hole in the middle and slice it thru the grommet. it works perfectly.

Put some silicone on the wire where it goes thru the gromet. It'll keep any water from seeping into the car and under the carpet. It only takes a sec, and will prevent a huge problem in the future.
good luck
