Since I have the masonite board under my carpet it a bit acquired to move it out of the way. I've never had to do this, so I appreciate Rick's experience. This is the first I recall anyone describing the procedure from experience. Let me just add that if you go by the picture in the manual, it looks like you poke a wire straight up. That's just because of the angle of the illustration, which leaves a lot to be desired. Since you're reaching to the middle from the driver side, naturally you're reaching in at a steep angle.
