Where to run wire on my 2011 Ford Taurus


Recommended Posts

Okay guys, please, I need some help with this one! I had a 02 Impala before and had no problem running 2 1/0 runs through the firewall. My new car, this 2011 Ford Taurus is sealed up so damn tight there seems to be nowhere! I bought two 1/0 grommets but I don't even see a place to start! Take a look at the pics, help me if you can.

I prefer not to run wire under the car, living here in NY i'd be worried of the salt spray. But if I was to idk if to use conduit or some form of tubing if it was my last resort.

I could potentially drill down near the front seat/pedal area and run the wire under the car for that small stretch if need be.. but I would prefer not to lol :)

So this is right over the gas pedal, just a giant brick for my fake accelerator:

This is over the brake pedal, you can see this giant "X" shaped cover over the brake line, which completely blocks my ability to run wire through there... The area just to the left of it would be great however you can't get to it on the other side bc it is right behind the wheel well...

This is behind the instrument cluster... no room...

Run the wire under the car with loom and then cut a whole in the trunk

Just basic wire loom? And there are some pre-installed grommets in the trunk I could pop the wire up through. How would I go about tacking the wire and loom to the car so it doesn't sag?

I say run the positive terminal directly to the negative terminal and run! Let that thing burn and go get a different car!

Sorry, couldn't help it!

Several systems, several vehicles. Always changing!

Please don't take your advice from someone that can't use the world hole correctly...

But on the other hand I got nothing haha. But what kind of room do you have behind your dash? Can you run it through the firewall up higher then by the pedals?

Nothing for now...

Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

I'd grab Adam's ass and look him in the eyes for a demo of nates truck.

Hahaha!! There is practically no room behind there at all. I had it all torn apart and was looking up in the area. There are bolts and other random waste-of-space crap all over the place. I'm very annoyed with this car right now...

Check wire harness for the engine. IIRC it passes through the firewall on the drivers side through a decent size grommet. But hell if not then just go through the fender and then onto the molex connecter in the door.
