HELP - wire routing from front wheel well into cabin


Recommended Posts

Guys,

 

i am new to the 997 community as i just purchased a 2011 911s.  previously had a 987c1,   i do a lot of TSD road rally and i need to run a sensor wire from either front wheel well into the car to provide an input signal for a rally computer. 

 

what i have read so far is that there is a grommet to the right of the battery into the car (thru the firewall).  what i need to find is a way thru the bulkhead either into the trunk interior and / or directly thru the inner fender.  are there any possible routes?  any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks in advance

scott

Run thru the bulkhead thru the rubber grommet above the accelerator pedal, under the battery tray and thru a second grommet into the front trunk.  Remove the trunk carpet liner and run behind passenger light assembly and then into the fender liner.

I penetrated a grommet next to the existing one. Cut an X with a razor knife and then seal with chaulk before you put carpet back. Fasten with zip ties to existing wires to make it look nice.

Then remove the battery and tray it is attached to and run the cable in the moat and enter the cabin via the rubber grommet behind the battery on the driver's side.

The grommet opens into the cabin right above the gas pedal. Careful pushing things thru as you can also push the grommet thru. I think it is better to have a partner help you with this.
