Trying to get two power wires through my 2002 Toyota Sienna firewall. Any good ideas. My drill is at the ready. I have found no pop-outs and am a bit scared about the drill. Thanks.

If you're near a library you can pull up the Chilton's or All Data online. Actually if you have a KCLS card you can pull up Chilton's online. KCLS and SPL.

Automatic Tranny or stick? I find on automatics the clutch popout plate is a good place usually.

So when Sean says 'don't violate your firewall' why does it sound dirty. Thanks for the ideas. Off to find power on the fuse block.

Ive been known to use a body plug next to the door hinges, and route into the fender on some cars. Usually when we mount a fender antenna.

Allot of broadcast radio antennas are routed this general direction also...

If I have no luck with the fuse block the fender is my next choice. Only thing this car does not have is rear DVD and that's where I'm going. Thanks.

I made a new hole in an existing grommet on my car and then sealed it up after snaking the cables through.
