Good job Ed, thanks

Looks good, except that these vehicles do tend to get a lot of water thrown up to the area where you ran the wires through the body plug. A dollop of RTV or silicone where the wires run through would be wise.

Great tip!

Could you take power from the 12v plug that's right there?

[@trailerhitches]

It is never recommended to use an existing system like a 12v power adapter. It will compromise the functionality of both systems sharing the 12 volts.

It seems like that wiring going to the battery should be ran inside of the car

[@trailerhitches]

You can definitely run it through the car but this is typically the quickest route and as long as the proper procures are followed (Avoiding hot or moving parts) and you tie all excess slack down, it is completely safe.
