Which Fuse For THIS and Location?

TXSTYLE · 11-24-2021, 08:48 PM

Hi guys. Can you tell me where is the FUSE located for the following? Glove Box or Trunk? My hard wired Radar Detector stopped getting power. I want to check the Fuse because I plugged the Detector in my other car and it works fine. 💡
It's running up into the roofing material. So not the rear view mirror itself. It normally turns on when the car wakes up. i.e. Remote control not engine cranking.

Since its not something from the factory…no one knows what wires the installer tapped into. Unless you pull back the headliner to follow the wires…try the process of elimination.

I would check everything that is in the overhead console area to see if anything else is not working. That could be an indication of what the installer tapped into….and possibly what fuse to check.

If it was connected to something that was switched…perhaps they tapped into the HOMELINK wiring (which requires that the ignition is on…or in the case of BMWs with START button…that the START button has been initiated).
