Mr Ricer,

I went out to look at the car this morning to see why you were having a difficult time as I remember it being so easy.

Well I forgot to mention a step which makes it much easier.

Disconnect the battery and take out the 2 - 10mm bolts holding the under hood fuse box. The fuse box also has 1 clip holding it down, gently pry up on it and it will lift up a few inches exposing the grommet that you will push the wires through.

Here are a couple of pictures, you can see the yellow wires and red wires are going through the grommet into the car.

just pull the top of the carpet down a bit and you will see your screwdriver / coat hanger sticking through.

So I stuck a screw driver through that, the issue is the other side. There is a plastic cover on the bottom blocking everything. The entire firewall where the screwdriver would be is inaccessible and I can't remove anything too easily.

Takes like 1 min to run a wire through that groment, removing the ECU or glovebox is not required.
I know I am a bit late to the forums, but I am new. Is this grommet available on the 1994 Honda Accord LX too, since the body style is the same?
