Hey guys, first time poster. I'd appreciate your input. I'm installing an oil pan heater on my 2005 3.0

My original plan was to route the plug to the front and cut a hole in the bumper and install one of so it stays nice and clean, no hanging wires/plugs. But now that I'm looking at the car, I see there isnt really and clear interior bumper space to install it. There's a ton of electrical and structural components.

Anyone have any ideas? Experience? Or maybe you know a spot inside the bumper that is clear? It only needs to be 2"x2" or so... but I just dont see it.

Thanks for your help!!

 

Maybe I can turn this into more of a DYI. I finished the job and found a decent solution.

I applied the pan heater as per instructions

Ran the wire behind the fog light inserts (popped it out), taped the extra cable to the lower radiator hose

Then the plug sits right in the little gap at the bottom of the bumper, which is just the right height so you can easily pry it out with your fingers, but wont fall out of position while driving.

Voilą! Pan heater with no hanging wires.
