Help finding power / ground in pass footwell.
Hey guys,
I figured I would give it a try to hardwire my valentine. Im looking for a good switched power wire in the pass. footwell area and a good ground.
Anyone know locations or wire colors or have any good pics or anything that can help me? Im stumped and having a hard time finding a good power wire...
Thanks guys

pull the cover off and look up in the top left corner of the well....there is a plug with 3 wires...yellow orange and black...they are taped off thats the plug....use a multimeter to determine which is switched and which is hot...if I recall the orange is switched and yellow is hot..but do your own check to make sure...lemme see if I can find a pic...

I've got a semi-stupid question.
The "rear view" mirror has power going to it. Anyone know what voltages are present there, and if it can be tap'd into for a radar detector ?

All right guys a little help here. How do you disengage the power plug on the back of the mirror. I'm having a hard time seeing it and thought it might help if I disconnected it and got it closer to eye level. Doesn't help that I'm color blind either so I really need to get this down and check myself w/ a meter. I feel what I think is a press down type release but it doesn't seem to be helping.
It's a Z06 if it matters
Thanks!

its a PITFA....I used to take the whole damn mirror down but you can turn the mirror far enough to get the meter probes in there...
