Hitting A Brick Wall

[SpyderConvert]

I am trying to install an additional fuse box (Eager Beaver) and upon the advice of a fellow SpyderLover, purchased the 24" lead from the battery to the fuse box. My problem is: how do I route the 24" lead from the battery? Do I remove the frunk or is there some way to "fish" the lead up to the left side cover? I am at a total loss here and am looking for any and all advice. Pictures would be most helpful. I did do several searches, but could not find the help that I needed. Thank you in advance for any help that you may offer up.

I don't know why your search came up empty. This is the same as my thread last week (with pictures) http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...-Parts-Electronic-Fuse-Block-13-311-in-2014RT

'Hitting a brick wall' isn't a very helpful search term when looking for help with the electrical system....just sayin'

Thanks

Thank you for your responses. I will make it more clear when I ask for help.

Yes and No

I re-read your original post and followed it as closely as I could. It's looking to me that the easiest way to do this is to remove the frunk. I'm certainly not afraid of doing this, but I was hoping to avoid it. What I will try to do is to photograph as many steps as possible so that others attempting to add an additional fuse block will have an easier time of it. Seeing photos of the completed setup helped, but I was hoping for for photos of how you got from the battery to the final "resting place" of the fuse box. Thank you for your help, it really did help.

From inside the frunk, remove the battery cover. Shine a shop light from the left wheel opening and you will be able to clearly see the spaces around the battery where the OEM battery cable passes through to back side of the frunk.

In other words the battery is actually exposed on the back side of the frunk (engine compartment) and you can see it from the 'wheel well. Access the battery terminals from the frunk, pass the wires around the battery to the back side and then pass them up to where you want to locate the electronic fuse block. It's actually quite easy and you don't need to remove the frunk.

Thank you!!

I was out of town for the weekend and just got home last night. I had ordered an "endoscope" that attaches to my cell phone and it was delivered in yesterday's mail; this will give me the opportunity to check out your advice. I really do appreciate all of your help. Again, Thank You!!
