Routing All the Wiring




Now that you've got the bumper off, you need to route all the cables for the sensors. First of all, unscrew each of the sensors from the cables and put them to one side. It's a good idea to take the rubber washers off and put them to one side - quite easy to lose them if you don't.


Now, where to run the wires? The grommet for the number plate light cable seems like a good choice, but there's not enough room to fit 4 more cables in there, so the air vent next to it will have to do! Run all 4 cables through, making sure the length left hanging out is appropriate to where they need to reach along the bumper (note that the cables are labelled A, B, C and D - make sure the sensors on the boot are in this order!).

Once you've pulled the ends inside the boot, you'll be left with a messy tangle of cables...

If you're planning to mount the box where I did (see previous image), I found that a cable pully tool thing and a length of string were invaluable in pulling the cables up behind the carpets:

The cables now come in behind the panel I'm using the hide the box - perfect:
