Doghouse wiring?

[Buckeye Hummer]

I need to run CB, GPS and light wiring through the doghouse. Basic instructions would be great to anyone that has done this before.

Well easiest thing to do is lift out the cup holder plastic which will give you full view in to the dog house. Also can remove CD player and radio if necessary for more visibility. Once you have it open to view you will see there are lots of options. I can't say what the best path is to run wires in to the engine compartment but for my CB antenna mounted on my rear bumper I just ran the cable down through where the AC hoses come in. They are wrapped in a "putty" that can be molded to allow additional cables through. I'm rambling but hopefully this gives a bit of help.

I would imagine the GPS cable will be real thin and no problem to work with. CB antenna straight through the bottom might work easily as well. Not sure about light wires.

Thanks Joe, I'll open it up and take a look.

I will take some pics too for others.

Did your dog like the new equipment? Why didn't you install surround sound, too?

My GPS antena is mounted just above the front window center pillar, most gps antena need to be mounted on a 75cm flat horizontal pannel(or as close as possible ) for best reception.

If I were you, I would consider pulling the doghouse off to do the install work... you don't have to disconnect everything, but at least free it up enough to slide it back and/or up as needed. It is a pain to do initially, but the job will be easy once it is off, and you will be able to route all your wiring right where you want to.

BTW, how was that for a timely reply? Only took me 2 years to answer this one
