through the fire wall? The only thing that I've connected were the dome light. All the other woring is hanging down from the A-pillar. Please, show me the way.

I used the rubber grommet that the parking brake cable goes out through. Or is it for something else? Anyway, there is a large rubber grommet under the dash on the drivers side, below the master cylinder level. I made a small slit in the periphery of it and I have bunches of wires threaded through there.

The only wire you need to pass through there is one pair for the sensor. If you use a twisted pair in a "sheath", that's only one cable to pass through and it's very easy. I do hope you're not using the original harness that far down.

Nope, the original wiring ends at the begging of the a pillar. I'll take a gander at it tommorow.

Look in my EATC how-to on my Cardomain site. There's pictures of some Ford sensor styles and except for the wire color, the EATC and OHC styles resemble one another.

OHC sensors have blue wires, one with a white strip, and the other with a yellow stripe.

It's on page 15 of my site.
