relyt120 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 :???: Anyone know where or how I can run a wire from under the dash to power my gps? I hate having the wires all over the place.... :fs1: I'm thinking can I run it thought the vents in the picture below somehow? Any suggestions would be appreciated, though I would prefer not to take the dash out.
Motion Offroad Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Not sure how high your wanting to go with it, but when I ran the wires for my CB in the wheeling MJ I ran them under the headliner and than down the a-pillar behind the trim. Didn't really remove anything, just simply pulled them enough away to shove the wires behind it.
lostissues Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 headliner to a pillar to cig outlet is a long run for a gps cord, they usually are not that long. you may be able to get it through the dash but the vents probably go into duct work so you wouldn't be able to get the cord through the ducts. usually the best way is to mount it in the lower left corner of the windshield and tuck it behind the dash or remove the a pillar and fish the wire to the under dash. if you would like also you can but a cig adapter and wire it into switched power under the dash so it doesn't have to come back out and go into the cig plug on the dash.
Harley Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Run them over and down alongside the glove box. Would be pretty clean looking for the most part.
87Warrior Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 The defrost vent cover can be removed. Carefully pry up the cover then fish your power supply through the dash. Once you get the wire passed the radio it should be easy going. Take your time and don't shove the wires or pull them too much so you do not break any dash wiring.
relyt120 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Thank you all for your idea's i'm going to try a few different things this weekend and see what works best. :thumbsup: Will post final solution when decided.
relyt120 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 Decided to steal power from the glove box light and just run it along the grove in the dash, :thumbsup: Pics will follow.
ParadiseMJ Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Why don't you just take it from an ACC slot on the fuse box...inside?
relyt120 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 Didn't want to run the wire down there :D
