Look for a rubber grommet that has a bunch of rubber stalks on it...looks like a Darlek

:-)

You can flip,off the end of a stalk to make a path to the dash. Zip tie those wires to stuff so they don't get loose in your engine compartment.

Hi again,

So i guess this is under the dash to the left of the steering wheel?
And i guess i have to take the under dash cover off then?
If this is right and if i remember right i dont remember the size of that screw head that removes that cover, it was a star type right or no?
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.

Yes, that screw should be a torx. Yes on the other questions.
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.
