Bringing Electric through the firewall
im jt starting to look at bringing some additional electrics through the firewall and was after some advice on the location to do so.
on my GU3 ZD30 i was intending to run a spur off the main fuse / relay box (thats the one with the cover on that runs perpendicular to the fright hand fron wheel just behind the battery). i havent yet checked becasue my tester is broken but it looks like that feed is ignition sensitive so taking a spur off the main connection (which might be a 8mm bolt would be a good starting point to run a spur to a secondary fuse box under the dash for all me secondary electrics, thus avoiding splicing into the wiring harness to piggy back off the radio and then the cigarette lighter.
and these might be CB, additional cigarette sockets for plug in stuff. better cabin lights etc, all the stuff that would run when the engine was on. naturally a second deep cycle battery within cabin might be a good next move for camping equipment but thats for later. my first concern is which was to come through the firewall and lookig at it, theres a lot less choice thsn when ive dont this previously on a LR Disco1 or rodeo ute.
dont mind drilling a hole if that required but then its rust proofing etc.
a photo would be good. theres a big rubber grommit behind the turbo actuator which might be where the main electrics go, is that the best option? all the other plastic caps ive removed so far are threaded for stuff thats not fixed unde the hood..
