    I installed and wired some fog lights. Everything is working properly so I started to run the switch connector to the new switch in the cabin. I could NOT find an easy way to go through the firewall without poking through some pre-existing wires with my feeder.

    I found a nook on the inside of the fender but got the switch stuck in the process. I tried getting it unstuck for hours to no avail. It’s just out of reach wedged in between the fender and the vent glass.

    I tried removing the fender but can’t seem to find all the bolts for removal. Any tips on how to gain access to this location?

    Open the door You have a fender that's facing the door hinge when the door is open That's the bolt you probably need to get to swing the fender out just enough so that you can do whatever it is you're doing You should have just slid alongside any of the rubber gaskets on the firewall and brought your wire in. But that's water under the bridge now
