(Again: I ended up replacing the white 14/3 with red 12/2 lumex.)Here you can see where the wire came into the space. I left the coat hanger all the way into the hole then carefully ran a long utility knife blade (3 + inches) along the metal ceiling plate until I felt it hit the coat-hanger. This will be your 'Ah-ha' moment. You can also see the hunk of pex pipe I used as a conduit. When you remove the long vertical wood finish strip that runs up the corner from the metal junction box you might also find a bunch of sharp pointed metal staples sticking out into the cavity there where your two thick black wire looms ran up to the AC control panel above. The bunch of staples creeped me out so I opted to run the wire past them inside a piece of pex.
