=jon= Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I had a look and can't see any recommendations in the search results, so apologies if this has been asked before... What's the typical route for running wires from the front to the back in a defender? I need to run a selection of things (speaker wire, exterior work light wire, heated rear window wire (unless I can find the factory wiring?), rear wiper wires etc) from the front to the back. The factory wires appear to go through the chassis and up through a grommit in the floor at the back. Is there an easy way to run additional inside the cab? I can get it from the fusebox under the tunnel insulation to behind the front seats, but further back than that I don't really have anywhere to tuck it away - the only place would possibly be under the lip of where the hard top sides join the tub, but it's still not that well tucked away... Any suggestions? Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I usually run them up the screen frame [hidden behind plastic trin] then along the hardtop lip where the roof bolts to the side panels held with "P" clips secured via the joint bolts.

Ooo that's a posh way of doing it....My speaker wires just sit in the lip of the roof section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 factory wiring is inside right hand chassis rail, either run new along top face of the chassis or along inside as described above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 For internal stuff, mine is sat on in the space between roof lining and the side panels. Mine's a station wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
