Default Engine Bay to Interior Wire Routing - finally have my plow connected

I found a nice route
Remove beauty covers (drivers side)
Follow the hood cable
Over the E-Box (drivers side)
Insert a wire hanger through the grommet (I rounded the hanger end)
Push gently
Daylights above fuse panel (drivers side)

Awesome. I need to get one wire through to connect the relay for the 958 DRLs I'm running on my 957 and hadn't found a good spot through yet.

Thanks for posting this.

Firstly pull a string and perhaps leave a string for the laser jammer...

Yes, I want to see a Cayenne with a plow on it! And what do you use a plow for in Arizona?

Awesome find! I just went through this when installing an EBC. There are only a few small spots in the factory firewall to get wires through on the 955.

Looks good!
If you could, would like to see photos and know how you attached the plow.

Hi there thanks for the post. My Cayenne is RH drive so I was able to get through on the LHS by piercing the same grommet ( not used because of RH drive) and stuffed it full of wire until it popped up. I didn't have any success with a straight coat hanger wire. Tapped into a free fuse and now have acc power to my LED daytime driving lights.
Thanks saved a lot of hassle.
cheers

RHD here also. Came through the left side grommet, lots of HVAC stuff in the way. No luck with stuffing cable in but had great success with a length of MIG wire.

Helpful thread, thanks.
