Wiring Question

Post by NewToVolvo850s »

I am running some accent lights inside my 850 GLT. Where should I run the wires through? Is it safe to run between fender and body into car or should I drill a hole in the fire wall or something?

Find the hose along driver's side of engine compartment that goes to cruise control. Follow it around the base of strut housing and you find the tube with rubber nipples where the hose goes inside. Cut a nipple and feed wire in through that and it will come out under dash. Volvo provided that for accessory installs.
