From: DB on 7 Sep 2006 19:21 I just ran my wires under the hatch for the spare tire. I found a few slots in the trim and I tie wrapped the wires. They are out the way and can't be seen when you open the spare tire hatch.

I've been exploring around there, and I see that there's plenty of room to pass from left to right in concealed runways. I found a wire in th corner where a wire runs through the trunk pan, but I haven't located it on the underside yet. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the back end up on ramps for a better look. There's a big black plastic box that seems to obstruct a direct view, but there's space between in and the underside of the area around the tire well.I may get the wires out to the hitch that way and not have to bring them out under the back hatch.

Are there third-party manuals available? Thanks for all the help. It works like a charm.
