Open the cover of the ECU box. Unclip the ECU retaining bracket and pivot it out of the way. Look down where the harness runs down into the car and you'll see your floormat. Run it through there. There's a grommet you can pop off the front of the ECU box to get the cable out and over to the battery.

You have to take the wiper arms off and the little plastic piece under them to reach the back bolt on your ecu box.
