Radar detector installation
I want to install a radar detector at the upper windshield molding on my '98 coupe. Is there a "hot in run" wire in the bundle to the mirror or the lights on the visor? I want to have 12 volts only when the key is in the run position and not 12 volts all the time in case I forget to turn the detector off.
If there is such a wire, what is the color code? Is black a ground, as is common in most circuits? As I recall, C4 had several grounds in the bundle to the mirror and the one chosen had to be a hot in run ground for this type of installation to work. If there are multiple grounds, is there a way to determine which one works other than trial and error?
