FAQ-Installing Photoman's Coolant Level Sensor
After getting this all set up in the cabin then I only needed to start running the two black wires out to the coolant and washer tanks. **NOTE: there will only be one wire you will need to route if you are only doing the coolant sensor***
I opted for using the clutch master cylinder pass-thru. Now all of us automatic 80 owners have this pass thru because if you have an automatic, you DON'T have a clutch master. Toyota puts in a pass-thru plug which is just a rubber plug. I made an "X" with a razor blade and pushed the wires through. It was at this time that I then pushed a wire loom through but on the engine side going into the cab.
I then routed the two wires and loom under the lip of the driver's side fender, zip-tying them to the A/C line, and then "temporarily" routed the loom in the channel between the crossmember and the radiator. I say temporarily ONLY because as soon as I get the dual batteries going, its all going under the crossmember. But for now its fine.
From here I made sure I had enough slack to cover to where the coolant tank is plus an extra 12" then I clipped the wire. Then I routed the remaining wire thru the aux. battery box, under the air cleaner and to the windshield washer tank. Added another 12" then snipped.
