    Relocating fuse box

    I'm looking into relocating the fuse box to where the glove box is and have a few questions:

    1. Where can I get color coded wire to match, and where can I find out wire gauge for the wires the come out of the bottom of the fuse box?

    2. I'm also doing a shave and tuck on my bay at the same time, so any ideas on how I would run the engine harness? I was thinking through drivers side and put it where the SRS brain is right now, but I'm not sure if I'd actually have to cut a new hole in the Firewall to do this?

    3. Finally as far as power goes, can i just run the battery cable to the glove box area and mount it under the dash somewhere or is there a special place I should do this?

    Thanks

    1. As far as color coded wire goes I would scavenge a harness from a junkyard.
    2. Probably have to make a new hole.
    3. I would just move the battery junction point inside and insulate it well from the chassis. The starter wire could go through the firewall near the starter and over. Just make sure to use a proper sized grommet so that it doesn't rub through the wire insulation and start a fire.

      The wire sizes are listed in the ETM. Good luck.
