Blendmount Wire Tap on HTC
Just curious if anyone else has had issues getting their Blendmount WireTap to work properly on their HTC or coupe with 2LT/3LT. My issue is getting the wire to "sit properly" so I get constant power once the car is turned on. I'm using the MT5015 which is for Escort brand products.
I have watched the "supplied" video several times
I am able to get power at times, but it doesn't "stay on"
I even had someone at a stereo shop give it a shot and he had the same issue
Thank you for your help and.or guidance, I appreciate it.

Mine works perfectly on my 2LT, but it is a very snug fit and nearly impossible to see. I used a small plastic pry tool to move the wires out of the way. You can try inserting the blades either above or below the wires; it did take a fair amount of pressure to squeeze the blade in.
I took my roof panel off and did it outside for the most possible light.

I don't have the blendmount, but one I got from Amazon. Wouldn't be surprised if its the exact same wire assembly. Anyway, yes, I had a hard time getting it to sit firmly. I had to struggle with it for a while to get it right, but now it's tight and has stayed that way.

Be aware of this TechLink bulletin:

Seems strange that tapping into the mirror power supply could cause an over voltage condition on the side mirrors but that's what it says...
