Ok guys, I need someone to do me a big favor. Can you look under your hood, and on the firewall. On my 04', there is a grommet plug that fits in the firewall on the passenger side, maybe 6-8" down, right behind the black cylinder thingy (not sure its name). I lost mine trying to run a amp power wire through it, and Ford parts couldn't locate the part in their system.

Anyways, does it look like one of these??? These are for a 79-93 so I'm not positive they'd be the same size, but most plugs I've seen are the same size if the shape matches. Can anyone help me out?

Mine is round, not oval.

Just double checked mine, it is perfectly round. I am talking about the one immediately behind the driver's side valve cover.

I'll see if I can see the cut-out in the metal for the shape.

Anybody else have any idea? Thanks for your help Kilgore!

On my 2000 the grommet is also round, I'm sure of this because I just fed my amp power wire through it last weekend

Ok, I looked at mine again. Its definetely oval opening. Passenger side, not far from the top or from the fender. The plug is right between the black cylinder thingy and a wiring harness.

Thanks for your help guys! I was going to run my wire thru there, then dropped the dang plug, and it disappeared forever.

Anyone with an 04....could you take a look!?!?

ok my misunderstanding, I missed the word "passenger side" and assumed you meant the typical grommet people use to pass wires through on the drivers side

now I'm gonna have to check again tonight

Passenger side is OVAL.
Doc odds are is it is under the carpet and matting material BTW it is a PITA to run through there trust me that is where I got some STUFF going through. it is behind the blower box thingy not much room and the matting/sound deading is on real good there too.

Thanks,I thought maybe I was just going crazy. Well I already ran my power wire a couple months ago, just haven't replaced the grommet I lost. I ended up using a grommet on the driver side for my wire. But I pulled the passenger grommet out (thinking I was going to use that hole), and when I tried to put it back in, dropped it, and it landed somewhere down in the engine bay and got stuck somewhere I can't reach. By now I'm sure its on the side of I-75.

Anyways, do you know if your grommet looks more like the first or second picture above? I'm trying to find one to replace the one I lost.

Thanks!

Napa may have a plug that you can use. When I had my 87 I drilled a new hole in my firewall to run some ignition wires, and battery cable. Napa had plug grommets that fit. Otherwise a small shot of spray foam will take care of it.
