MtnDave Posted June 16, 2024 Share Posted June 16, 2024 I'm installing a SnowDogg EX80II on my 2024 F250 SuperDuty. I need to get the connector pictured below from the engine compartment to the cabin. I've got the upfitter switches and wiring, but that only helps with the power lead attached to the connector (red wire in photo). Where can I find an opening large enough to push the connector through? Barring that, what's the best approach to drilling a hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connector requires more than four leads, so cutting off the connector and wiring inside the cabin won't work. Or are you suggesting punching out the grommet and just running my wires through that opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that would seem to be a viable option. Remove the grommet, pull the wires out, maybe slice the grommet so you can get your bundle in?

amateurwheels Posted June 21, 2024 Share Posted June 21, 2024 Driver's side grommet access is going to be easier than passenger side. Passenger side you're going to have to remove the battery and the fuse box to get access. Under the dash you're going to have to remove a module on the floor board, and the blower motor to get your hand up in there. It's tight behind the heaterbox and the firewall. Regardless, going through either grommet you take the chance of damaging existing wires going through there. Other possible options include grommets in the floor pan and the rear of the cab.
