Question
I have a 2002 Dodge Stratus SE and I have no idea where on the firewall I should pull the wire through. There are no extra grommets or plugged holes that I can see. I'm afraid if I drill a hole I will damage something. Could you PLEASE tell me where I can go through. Thank you.
Sometimes you can squeeze it through the openings where the brakes and clutch mechanisms go through; or the big wiring harnesses but most often you must find the right spot and drill a hole, feeding the wire through and them filling up the space with grommet or other material that makes it air tight so as not to allow engine emissions to enter the cabin.
Some, who do not want to penetrate the firewall will run the wire under the car and bring it up in the back into the trunk or where the amplifier is to be installed.
Your creativity will be important in this endeavor now; go ahead bravely.
