Is that positive connection some kind of very high current fuse linked for accidents? I guess there must be some kind of fused bar between the battery + terminal and that heavy cable supplying the fuse box? I worry a bit about crushed cable insulation making a short to chassis ground in an accident.Yes there was an unused closed grommet as if it was intended for wiring at some point. I made a little x cut in the rubber and ran the 8 gauge wire through. Had to do the same thing on the inside as it was closed there too. There was a little circle on the inside which was opposite the grommet on the outside. Made a cut in there and the wire came the rest of the way through. I attached the fuse to the negative cable wire with a tie strap. Wanted to be able to access that fuse if needed to with only taking the one panel off so that is why I attached it there.
Not sure if I am the first person to add a sub to the Mach-E but maybe the first one posting it here. Like I said before this was not even on my list of projects for this car but I had all the panels removed under the front truck because of other projects I am working on so figured, why not run a wire to the back for future sub. I did not take any more photos than the ones I posted earlier but have had some requests for what it looks like behind the trim panel where the OEM sub is so might pull that apart again and take a photo. I will write something up when I am finished tomorrow after the sub (hopefully) comes in.
[Never mind. I see, the fuse IS in the blue + cable, you were just saying that you physically tied the fuse holder to the ground cable for easy access ]
Very nice runs! That grommet it great too.
