GhostRider Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Where can I penetrate the firewall for wiring? As of now, its just a dash cam but more will likely follow. Where is a good spot? Please post pics if you have them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Is any of what you want to do high amperage that needs a fused link right from the battery, or is it all accessory type things, like that dash cam? A fuse tap inside the cabin and not breaching a seal would be better. If going for a amp, then someone recently chronicled their at least partial install, including running large gauge wire to the cargo area.

edgeidiot Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 You should be able to use the search box to find previous posts about installing a Dash Cam. I don't remember that anyone mentioned piercing the firewall. There is a fuse box in the cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Why do you need to go through the firewall? What is the goal of the project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted August 21 Author Report Share Posted August 21 I need to get to the battery. The fuses are too far back and angled for me to get to. I will need to do this eventually. Anyone have pics of where I can go through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostRider Posted August 21 Author Report Share Posted August 21 Do you have a zoomed out pic of where this is at? I need to get through the firewall on my '20 SEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 The BCM with fuses isn't difficult to get to. It is by the driver's area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Ever thought about drawing power from the r.v. mirror? It's how I connected my radar detector and it works perfectly. This is the Mirrortap wiring harness i used; (your device connection would use a different harness) https://a.co/d/du9qCbH And Blendmount mounting bracket; (again yours will be different) https://blendmount.com/radar-detector-mounts/ The advantage is,+ a ten minute hookup, poweres up when car is on/run, off with key off, door open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
