man chrysler can pack an engine in huh?
Can you take some picks? If I remember correctly the battery is behind the wheel well right? Have you looked behind it?

i can't think of one specifically. if you can't find one, find an empty spot on the firewall on the inside of the car that you can safely drill into. make sure you reallllly check what you are drilling into, don't want to drill into something important.

The battery is not under the wheel well like some dodge and Chrysler cars...I can't see daylight anywhere though. I may have to drill. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

if it is an automatic then there is usualy an empty spot where the clutch should have been you can either knock the plug out or if no plug drill here.
if it is a manual then you can usualy drill threw somewhere close to the clutch i drilled up and to the right of my clutch. just be 100% sure there is nothing on either side of where you drill

There should be a rubber-boot around the steering column. You can pinch a small hole in the rubber using side-cutters. If you have one, force a 1/2" drive deep socket (5/8 or 3/4) halfway through the rubber, and voila ... DAYLIGHT! Your wire can feed thru the socket & into your engine bay :)
Just remember to remove the socket & silicone your hole ;)

i would be carefull when messing around the steering column if it gets knocked out of alignment a little it can end up causeing some major problems...
just be carefull not to shove too hard with a socket or what not,.
