    remove back seat, then pull the two door sills, then pull carpet up, run your wires in the void along the doors.

    Also, if you'd like to enter from the rear (lol), you could go through the trunk.

    You'll need more wire, and it won't look nearly as neat as using Scottydoggs method.

    did you put the shiftier in reverse then test it, aka with the back up lights on?


    you know, e brake on, car in R, get out look at the lights, they are on, check, now take one bulb off and poke its wires. you need a good ground for this.
