There is rubber grommet by the fuse box (way up in the driver side corner). You have to undo the wheel well plastic shield and that would lead to the main fuse box in the engine compartment. Cant run a thick wire though.

you have to dismount front driver side wheel and undo the plastic shields to expose the back side of the rubber grommet. Before you dismantle every thing, examine the grommet and make sure you can run your wire through.
