w124 firewall wire routing

hey everyone...

i have a 1995 E320 wagon. i installed a secondary horn in the engine bay below the front bumper. i want to run the wire for it back into the headunit (as a power source). i have managed to poke the wire through the rubber grommet in the firewall behind the brake booster. it looks like those wires run right behind the instrument cluster.

the problem: i can't find the wires from the inside of the car. does anyone have any tips on accessing the area where those wires come through the firewall?

i have already removed the carpet, the sound deadener, and the center console side panel. but i don't want to dismantle or damage anything uncesssary.

thanks everyone!

eric

There's probably more suggestions in the Audio section where I found this one...

per rsmcmahon
Look for a possible point of passage through the firewall on the passenger side just behind main computer box. You will see many other wires running through the firewall at this point. I had a cell phone, hands free kit mounted with the wiring running through this area.


Or if you want to...
Instrument cluster removal

thanks bob! turns out the instrument cluster was the right answer!

but... a friend pulled upart the plastic piece beneath the steering column and saw the coat hanger i used to push the wire through so voila!

thanks!

eric
