Expert Reply:
I don't have an exact route for you to take, but basically you want to avoid any hot or moving parts inside your engine bay, and then you either need to drill through your firewall to route the wire through or you need to look for a grommet that you can make a slit in and feed the wire into your cabin space.
If you do end up having to drill into the firewall to install the # ETBC7 wiring kit just make sure there isn't anything on the other side that could be damaged from the drill.
