its a big wire loom under the battery, just unravel the black tape on the end over the rubber grommet and you will see there is a lof room to move a cable through. Make sure you use some lube to push the cable through. Makes it a lot easier. Good luck


Oops just noticed you said on the other side. Remove the fuse cover. It comes in from the top right of the fuse box i think. Just push the cable through and you'll see the copper end if you stick your head under there. Finding the cable was the easy part for me. I had a harder time pushing the cable through without lube.

It is easier to find if you remove the trim panel under the glove box. The carpet on the trim panel next to the tunnel is stuck up in place by some pliable trim adhesive, just pull it down real slow. Then you have to look back up high over to the right to see it. It helps if you can stand on your head and are very flexible.
