Hey I have my radar hardwired/tapped into the Cig "or" power outlet on the center counsel. But think its more like a power outlet. I have one in the armrest and one in the ashtray area. I am tapped into the one in the ashtray area. Well its not working and nor is my radar So I checked and found the fuse that says "power" on it but that was fine?? I have pulled almost every fuse to make sure it wasn't that. Someone borrowed my voltmeter so I dont have one in the garage to check so I was hopping someone can either check or may know.

What would it be called for a fuse or tied in with? someone you work at the dealer can you please ask for me I pulled my radar out and it works in my wifes car so I know that isnt the issue.

Seems like it would be something simple but cant seem to figure out where the fuse is at unless there is something else that is causing the problem.

Thanks for your help
Mike

i just remember you changed the whole rearview... but i think there would be wires for the old compass you could try tapping into that... you could try out the cig lighters maybe they work... the fuse boxes are under the glove box and under your steering wheel..

^ I already checked the fuse boxes and that didn't help me out. Mine are in different locations then the IS I believe.

I didnt tap the wires up there for that.

I bet there is a fusible link in-line somewhere. Thats going to suck to trace it back.
