Mirror Tap Help please
I am trying to mirror tap my new Escort Smart Radar and I've read a few threads on here saying to push the red and black cords into the back of the mirror into (black/red for switched power) and (middle black for ground). I am doing this but I am still not getting power to the radar. I made sure I pushed them in a decent amount so that I'm pretty sure they are touching deep in there.
Am I trying to plug the power and ground into the wrong spots? I prefer not to do it through the fuse box. Suggestions? |

I couldn't get my mirror tap pins to stick in far enough to stay plugged in. I unplugged the connector and used a volt meter to find the correct wires. Then trimmed off some of the tape and soldered the wires directly together. Re taped the wire bundle and plugged it back in. I can't remember which two wire colors without removing the tape but it wasn't what you would think. It wasn't black to black and red to red.

Does anyone remember what color wires? I'm not sure if it matters or varies between the years but mine is a 2012 touring. |
