Installing Brakebuddy in 2014 Honda

OK, ROCKY happens to be a Daihatsu ROCKY, a small SUV which happens to have a 5-spd manual trans and 4WD.

Daihatsu is the first company in Japan to build an automobile, and is now owned by Toyota.

ROCKY

Toad: ROCKY the Flying Squirrel.

I found an existing hole in the ROCKY and was able to put the breakaway cable plus 3 twisted wire pairs for new circuits in the same location. No drilling required.

Make sure the grommet is in good condition and is not dislodged or damaged during the work, and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the reply but what is a ROCKY??

Another outstanding effort from you Wally!

Getting a 2014 Honda CR-V ready for a Brakebuddy! Where is the best place to go thru the fire wall for the break away switch wiring?

What type of unit are you installing? I also have a 2014 CRV and I'm going to put one in shortly! I'm also going to run a live wire from the coach battery to the CRV battery to keep the CRV battery trickle charged so I won't have to pull fuses!

If you use your search engine and type in installing ready Brake on Honda 2014 Crv you can find photos of where nthey drilled the floorboard/firewall on ours. It's a different brake system than yours but the brakeaway is similar and they explain how to measure where to drill

May be an area where the gas pedal cable goes thru...that's where I put it on my 2005 CRV

Look around the firewall under the hood on drivers side you might find an exsisting wire or cable penetration with enough room to pass the breakaway switch wire plug thru. If not you may have to drill a new hole just be careful where you drill as not to hit something, fuse block, relays, etc on the inside. The local parts store has an assortment of different size gromets for these holes. also some electrical tape and silicone where wire passes thru can help prevent chaffing and shorting out. Hope this helps Good Luck
