is there a spot in the firewall that anyone has ran the power wire through?

There is a small grommet above/behind the fusebox underneath the drivers side dash. The biggest you can go is 4 gauge. Its not easy to get to, but its the best way to go with new gen taurus'. Good luck.

crhye250r is right... it's not the easiest to get to... but it's gonna be a lot easier than findin a good spot to drill and run your wire through... take down the fuse box and pull back the rubber mat & carpet and there is a small grommet behind it if u want bigger than 4 gauge u'll have to drill the hole bigger...

Yup. I think the speedo cable or the shifter cable runs through it though. Can't remember which off hand. Just be careful mang.
