you would need to unplug everything from the fuse box and pull the wires through the firewall. Then stick the fusebox in the glovebox...however i dont recall our gloveboxs being big enough for this.

the best advice i received was to unbolt the fusebox, remove all the plugs from the bottom (each plug only fits one spot), and then try to run the wires inside.

your setup is prolly different than mine or the next guys so it all depends on your car... i dont have a/c so i had a hole right behind the battery to run the wires through.

good luck.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I have mine under the dash.

Like everyone said, just unplug everything and pull it through to the inside. Then it will make things a lot easier if you buy an el-cheapo grounding kit off of ebay or something because some power wires will have to be extended.

Unbolt the fusebox, lift it up so you can access the wires, then unplug them.

So the wires on the underside of the fusebox will pull right out without disconecting anything inside the box ?

There's a simple plastic cover that you have to pop off before you can unplug the wires, but yes, they do unplug from the fusebox. Just go out to your car and take a look at it and you'll see it's pretty easy.

Dude, just go do it. Unplug everything, move the fusebox, run the wires through a hole in the firewall and look and see what needs to be extended.
