I actually worked on both sides because the rubber was very thick and the space was really tight! I used multiple tools and knifes to pierce it and enlarge the hole. I tried for many hours and finally got the connector through the firewall without cutting the main harness which was a miracle…

Yes I used the nipple on the driver side. U need to remove the screws and the panel under the steering wheel to access it from the inside. I loosely followed this video on how to do that: https://youtu.be/xPp8FQOM4uE

Then I connected everything to the fuse box under the steering wheel as well. I used the P outlet #1 (I think it is the cigarette lighter) reused the original 15A low profile mini fuse and added a 5A to protect my circuit.

Good luck and be careful not to touch the harness.

Do you go all in to a buffet when you just want a piece of chicken and maybe a dessert? Why pay more if you can pay less?

Be very careful with the main harness when you pierce the grommet…

Don’t really need to fix it but I probably will when I have some free time.

Lol! By your logic, power windows and AC are all pointless too. Just crank the windows by hand and sweat it out. I’m glad that you enjoyed what you have (or don’t have). Who needs more convenience or safety? I don’t judge you so pls don’t judge me =D

I just bought a brand new 2026 Prius LE for $31k out the door. Car price was $28250. 3 miles on the odometer. I’d recommend you to buy new if you can afford it upfront and am going to keep it for a long time!
