Ive given up hope on finding what im looking for. Ive spent a good hour searching both here and out on the web with no prevail.

What i am looking for is directions on how to remove my overhead console and what wires are positive and negative.

I am gonna try to hard wire my radar detector into the power for my compass/ temp display in the overhead console.

I have a 2003 SuperCrew XLT

If anyone has done this or knows where i can get the above information please please help me out.

Thanks,

I wired my V1 into the overhead console. Nothing wrong with this since the factory fuse (#23) is 10A. The Radar Detector draws about 1/2A. Plus it has a 1A fuse in the wire harness.

Run power wire is White with a Light Blue stripe.
Ground is Black with a Light Blue stripe.

Note these colors are from a 2000 F150. Using a multimeter and checking volt/ground is a very good idea.

The console is held up by a single screw up front. The back just pops out.

ive seen the clips inside the second pull down bay, i havent seen a single screw when i looked the other day. Where might that be located? Up against the glass?

yea got it all to work. Same black with blue and white with blue, there was actually two blacks with blue stripes. but i figured it would be the one right below the power....
Its nice, now i can just leave my detector on all the time and when the motor turns off so does the detector.
Thanks for the help,
