The pass through wires were too short to work with, so I ran wires (switches 1-4) from the relay box through a grommet under the passenger seat to behind the glovebox. I bought 4 female cigarette lighter socket pigtails. There are some points behind the kick plate that can serve as a ground.

I cut a hole in the dash pad, and ran a piece of automotive conduit from there to the glovebox area. I fished the wires through that, keeping the original accessory male cigarette sockets. I left the sockets intact because at least 1 of my accessories had a step down voltage, and can not be wired directly to 12 volts.

Hope this helps.
Thank you, that does help. I wish I were brave enough to try doing it on my own, but I think I'll call the local Ford dealer and see what they say. I think I would want them all terminated with female 12v sockets at the end so I could plug in male sockets with USB ports.

Find a car audio installer in your area, this should be a piece of cake for them.
