Gen V Rear View Power Plug in Location

[Doug Nash]

7/7

Thank you to those that posted info about the direct plug in location on the rear view mirror for hooking up my Escort. I would not have known but went out and in the bottom of the glove box was the wire tap -plug in a non descript plastic bag. I cut the wiring on my detector and spliced to this connector. However, I cannot find the plug in location on the mirror. Have been looking through the windshield, underneath up and looking all around.
Anyone that can help or provide a visual aid (pic!) it would be greatly appreciated. Can't believe I can build or modify about anything and this has me on the bench!
Thanks if you can help,

Sincerely, Stumped on the mirror plug-in location

You have to remove the cover at the mirror,tucked in behind cover.

when you remove the cover, it is on the drivers side.

Thanks guys. Does it just pop off? Do not want to break tabs and have a rattley mirror back.

[ViperSmith]

just pull the portion above the mirror towards you, no tabs to break at all.

Thank you. Thank you very much! Hitting the garage now.

That's a good place to power and mount a dash cam as well if you think you might want one.

This is exactly what I did with my Blackvue DR650GW dash camera!

Oh cool. Thanks to this thread I now know what that connector in the plastic bag was for LOL.
