Routing a 2 wire cable dash to rear
Anyone got any advice on routing a 2 wire cable from a switch on the dash to a rear mounted work light on a 2014 90....Is it a dash and roof lining out job or can the cable be easily drawn.

Thanks
Dave

May be easier to go "South" - underneath?

Easy from the dash, thru the bulkhead (plenty of blank/blind grommit's to push thru), under the car along the chassis, and into the battery box under the passenger seat, then back from there?

I have a 110, so may not be the best route. Sounds easier than taking the roof lining out... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

I routed my wire along the inside channel where the roof bolts on to the inside side panels lots of room, and an easy job, Run the wire from the dash up and behind the windscreen finisher either left or right depending where you are putting the light at the rear, then just lift the edge of the front head lining feed the wire under it and then along the top channel where the roof bolts on to the rear of the vehicle. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
