Water Temp Sender Wiring - Passenger side
 
1 Attachment(s)
Anyone running wires from the engine to Lotek gauges through the passenger side? I can't find a location to run my sender wire from my water temp adapter to the gauges through the passenger side. The sender wire I have isn't long enough to run through the driver side firewall break under the clutch slave cylinder. I'm trying to avoid having to splice it.

Only thing that looks like a possibility is the windshield wiper fluid tube which looks like it runs under the windshield under the dash. Attaching a pic of the tube and the sender wire in with it. Can't find a way to get at it once it's run under there tho.

If that isn't viable are there any other places to get through the firewall on the passenger side?

there are several people, myself included, running amp wires on the passenger side.

you will need to remove the windshield washer reservoir and drill a hole in the firewall. make sure you are not drilling into anything on the other side and use a grommet. it will come out under the dash, then just run it up through the glove box area to the top of the dash.

Thanks nuke. I knew people had managed it but couldn't figure it out. Since it's just two wires it'll be easier for me to just split the existing sender wire, put some extensions in it, and then run it through the grommet I already cut on the driver side for the oil senders. Drilling into my car is something I generally avoid whenever possible. Cutting apart my dash for the Lotek was enough for this project. ;)
