getting a wire from the engine to the car's interior

[brush.]

Does anyone know how i can run a wire from the engine bay to inside the car? I want the wire to end up at the fuse box...

After 4 hours of fiddling today with it, i managed to get a power cable from the battery in the engine compartment inside the cabin. Its actually really close to the fuse box.

I got inside beside the left-side chassis, then i found an opening leading inside the car. ill make some pics tomorrow and show you

I'm guessing by the photos the car is RHD and has the fuse box on the right and not left?

Anyway, I've ran a boost pipe - pipe down the same route as the bonnet opener cable.

If that helps.

not sure where it was so i went the more "easy" way

as for the car make, ive no idea what "RHD" means i got the steering wheel on the left side though

RHD = right hand drive

Thanks for the photos! I'll let you know which way I end up going.

What I'm trying to do is wire up the heated windscreen washer jets I bought from ebay. I want to wire it so the heated nozzles come on when I switch on the heated wing mirrors.

There is an earth and a live to be connected. I'm hoping that the live I need to connect to is somewhere in that red circle on the first pic I posted. If I can work out which wire comes from the heated-wing mirror fuse, then I'll solder onto that wire. Does this makes sense? Feel free to let me know if you think I'm going to break something

Wait - that's wrong. For the mirror switch to control the jets, I would have to connect them between the mirrors and the switch. So that's probably in the door somewhere.

In that case the way through i posted would fit you, as long as u find an entry point at the door
