After pulling the tail light branch, I started the battery leads.

I pulled both branches through until the snorkel got to the tunnel.

All done! (with the first obstacle). I also fed the wires for the heat lever to that opening.

Now comes the real fun. All the rear harness now has go into the tunnel and out the hole in the lower firewall into the engine compartment.

I violated my "big things first" strategy by starting with the far end tail light lead.

This was pretty easy to sneak into the tunnel and then feed out into the engine compartment.

I continued to pull that branch, and got more side branches through.

Now the test for my current strategy: will the big plug have room to get through?

Using long shop tweezers helps to get the lead ends through the hole.

Gently pulling from the engine side and pushing from the tunnel side, and here it comes.

Now feeding things through the hole in the forward engine shelf. This time the big plug goes first.
