Need help...

So i was in the middle of installing my system, and i was getting a little angry with drilling thru the firewall and running 4 gauge... well i wound up drilling too far and went into something behind the dash. Ive got a cel, and a rev limited of 3k rite now. I checked under the dash and it right above the top seam of the lower white unit.

such a stupid mistake...ive done this a ton of times already on other cars, installed systems in my car, all my friends cars... and i do something like this to my baby

Any insight on this?

thanks a lot guys

I can completely understand that. lol But I've learned that's when it's time to take a break. If you work in a shop, I let someone else take over for 15 minutes.

Driver's side? Passenger side? The FAQ tells you to drill behind the washer fluid bottle...

Hmmm... mostly A/C stuff behind there. Certainly wouldn't cause CEL or rev problems.

Anyone know what else is back there?
