Power Wire Routing Recommendations for a 2007 Subaru Forester for an # ETBC7 Kit

Question:

What is the best way to run the brake controller wire and battery wire in 2007 Subie forester? It looks like there are few protected places under the chassis so inside somewhere might be better. Any ideas?

The best way to run wires under a vehicle is to route the wires away from any areas that could pinch or melt the wires. Typically running the wires through the frame rails or attaching them to an existing wiring harness is the best method.

Or you could run the wire through the interior of your vehicle. This is my preference since it keeps the wires more protected. You will need to either drill holes in the floor of your vehicle or find existing holes that will be covered with rubber grommets. I attached an FAQ article that is on routing wires through vehicles that you should find helpful.
