Happy Monday gang.., searched the forums for some guidance on routing aux switch wiring harness, but all I could find was threads asking where to punch through the firewall.

My question is where/how can I safely route the wiring harness from a switch box (using Voswitch JL300) across the motor. It is mounted on the driver's side, and I currently have it routed across the firewall, and not sure if that is a bad route because of the heat. I do have it wrapped in loom cloth, and zip tied up as well. I know everywhere in the engine compartment is going to be hot..., but is this going to get too hot?

Thanks in advance!!

by looking at the pics, you are doing fine. I think lots of us route the wiring at the same spot as you. may I ask where did you run the wire into the cabin?

Thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated

.., super easy.., folded the windshield up,, removed the driver's cowl and right into the door insulation. Super easy!!

Bleepin Jeep has a good shot of this on YouTube while installing his Voswitch unit.

Keep in mind, he went horizontal to get to the middle, and I effectively went straight in next to a drip tube to use the door as my verical drop. Was really skeptical at first, but beats the hell oUT of a frustrating fishing expedition.. plus no obstructions or fighting existing harnesses or looms.
