C-6 Blinder install

[kevino]

Trying to install Blinder M-47 on my c-6 Corvette and am having a hard time finding
how to run the wires from the front bumper to the inside of the car. There are no grouments or knock outs. All help will be appreciated.

Also, any ideas where to mount the switch?

Thanks

Kevin

Be patient and don't double post in several areas. It could get you banned. We have several vette owners on the board that will answer you pretty quickly. Welcome to the forum.

If you don't want to run a Cheetah system you can either piggy back the air conditioning condenser drain at the passenger tranny tunnel (But you have to pull the access panel to access it. ) or run it through the front fender around the passenger door jamb. If you go with the door jamb use electrical conduit to protect the wires.

Yes, clandestine cop paranoia has run amuck here lately.
Try and have fun with your new toys. Post pics of your install and document your experiences on the forum for other C6 owners that may come along in the future.

Thanks, but can you tell me where the A/C condensate drain is located?

The firewall thru fittings are centered around the transmission tunnel. Pull the inside trim work and you should be able to find the outlets clustered near the edge of the transmission tunnel. It's not easy, that's why many installers opt to go for the fender instead. I had to lay upside down on the passenger seat feed a set of mechanical fingers through a blind hole in the firewall. It took a few tries. The trim extraction is a PIA by itself and of course it's GM so none of it goes back together easy.

Pull the battery out and there is a big grommett behind it that brings all the power connections to the fuse box located in the passenger foot well. Just make a small slit in the grommett, feed your wires through and then silicone where you made the slit and reinstall the battery.

You will need to re index the windows which takes about 30 seconds and possibly reprogram the clock and your other favorite settings.

The footwell is a great spot for the control unit as there is plenty of room there to mount it and store wires.

Oh and um.... don't Jam to Gun... officers don't like it, and we don't either.

Thanks, I found the wire harness groument behind the battery and cut a small hole but can't
seem to get wires to go passed it. May be a double groument (double wall) cant even fish a stiff wire passed it. Should I pull the groument out?

I pulled the grommet out and cut a slit in it. It takes a stiff wire (coathanger) to go through the hole. I fished it from the inside into the engine compartment. I found that easier.

I mounted my cutoff switch right in the console where the suspension selector switch would be if I had that option.
