I want to run a mobile lead from the central glove box adaptor along the driver's side, tucking the cable behind the plastic trim.

I have removed the dashboard storage box and central air vents, I am trying to get the cable from the drivers foot well up to the central storage box.

This is where I am stuck, does anyone know if I can run the cable without removing the radio, air con etc etc.

I can send photos if it is easier.

 

Many thanks,

 

Joseph

It all looks really tight space wise and may not be possible but thought I would try.

Morning Joseph

I use a section of bicycle brake cable outer which is easy to feed through tight spaces then tape the cable to it and pull it through, some times this has to be repeated in sections to get where you want to be.

As that looks like a charging lead, personally i would have taken a fused spur from a 5 amp fuse in the fuse box that may have been easier and a shorter route.

Hi Dave,

Bike brake lead worked a treat and now installed with no visible cable.

Thank you so much for the advice.

Another job ticked off
