Need to run 12 volt into compartment from battery

will I need to remove the battery to access to the giant grommet ?

thanks

It is easier if you do, but if you feed something through the grommet from under the dash, you can typically find it under the hood, and then attach the wire to it and pull it back through.

I looked everywhere yesterday and I couldn't find the location from under the hood ?

I found the grommet inside the cabin. It's above the brake pedal. But didn't locate anything under the hood ? Thanks

You can't see it without removing the Wiper tray and battery. I use a 1/8" plastic rod to poke through and snake out. What tends to happen is that you poke through the grommet and then hit the back of the plastic piece that supports the Y on the harness, or you poke though and hit the back of the battery.

thanks for the picture CTScott, so I'll have to poke a hole through the grommet ? not able to remove the grommet itself ?

Trying to feed the temperate probe wire through for the CIPA mirror install :/

Correct - You will poke through it. To remove it (to cut a little slit and slide the probe wire in without shoving the probe through) would require pulling the wiper tray off to give you full access to it.
