Need Some wiring help please!!
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to install an auto-dimming mirror on my 1998 c5 and i've get pretty much everything all set up. (I've already seen that one article, but that mirror is different from the one that I bought.) Well anyways, all I need to know is if somebody knows if there is a wire that will supply power only when the ignition is turned on and I need one that's near the passenger side fuse box, and that is not too hard to get to. If anyone knows of such a wire PLEASE let me know, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

There are two Auxillary power wires near the fusebox on the C5.... actually three. One is black and provides a constant ground. One is Yellow and the other is Red. If I remember correctly the Yellow is 12v and always hot while the Red is 12v and hot only with the ignition. I used these wires to hook up the amp in my 2000 FRC.
There should be an entry in your owner's manual about these wires.
Good luck.

:iagree: Tucked up on top or on the left side of the metal box left of the passenger side footwell fuse box. You'll see them - just pull them out and splice into them.
