cars are fucking stupid
Yeah dude welcome to modern cars. Pain in the fucking ass
Everyone uses coathangers to stab the shit out of the firewall gromets and wiring harnesses running through them, dude.
Simple mods never are. Figure out what you stabbed or didn't, get it through and in, and wire that shit up. Same thing happened to me in my r32 like 9 years ago. The wires I stabbed in the harness are still exposed today and everything works fine.
I'm guessing you are installing a subwoofer/amp?
Last weekend I installed one in my V70, but luckily Volvo (unintentionally) made routing the wire easy-peasy
