Behind the front bumper. Usually on the drivers side.

Should be right above the frame horn.

I ran mine on the driver side. Ford doesn't run any wires from the engine compartment into the interior on the passenger side and I haven't found a convenient place to add wires there without drilling.

got it completely finished and it works perfectly...i had to drive in 6 circles to get it to calibrate. the color is kinda wired it is like a really light green...is that the "blue" every one talks about...defiantly not the same green as the dash etc.

Yes that is the "blue"that everyone talks about. Mine came with that at first but I swapped it out for a green one. I think that the green one is brighter too.

Grats on your install. I really like my OHC. Ran my wires on the Drivers side as well.
