Default Wideband 02 Wiring Harness Routing

I too was having a problem finding a clear answer to the question of just how to route the Wideband Wiring Harness into the cab of the C6. I PM'd several members who have solved this issue for themselves and found that some have routed the harness up from the tunnel plate next to the gear shift; some through the drivers side next to where the hood release routes into the cab; some have routed the cable through passenger side fender and into the cab through the accordion grommet from the passenger door into the cab while others have placed various sized holes in the firewall, near the area behind the battery where the rubber grommet accommodates the large wiring harness as it passes through the firewall to the Fuse Panel in the passenger footwell. I plan on drilling a hole in the firewall near the rubber grommet behind the battery. I will start with a small hole and expand as necessary to meet my needs. Summit Racing offer a large assortment of Firewall grommets that will seal off the hole in the firewall. Hope this helps. I will start this project for myself within the next couple of weeks. Best of luck to you and your project.

I yanked all the carpet up and drilled a hole big enough to put the sensor through all the way on the top left of the passanger side floorboard and its about 3" from the actual bung :P
