I want to run some lights under my dash. Did anyone run power direct from the battery to inside the cab? I heard that you can push the cables thru the steering column?  Do you have to access it from under the car or can you get to it under the hood? Roll Eyes

I haven't done this, so I'm sure someone w/ more knowledge can provide a better answer... There's a rubber nipple that you can cut and feed wires from under the dash, through the firewall.
Or, you can do what I did and use an add-a-circuit, so you have a fuse and you run it from your fuse panel under your dash. Smiley

Tons of power under the dash. For example the power outlet in the shift column has plenty of 12 volt power to run under dash lights.

I want to change the 12v outlet in the shift console to constant 12v but don't know how to get the console apart to get to it. Can anyone help?
