I recently figured out a way to use a computer fan power extension cable to tap the dome light connector without having to cut into the car's wiring, but I really wanted to go with a switched source so I ran a phone cord around the A pillar to the center console (I found pins that fit the console plug, see my post in the GT3 forum).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know it seems like this question must have been answered 1000 times, but I can�t find anything definitive. In a 2003 Cab, is it advisable and possible to get the power from the entry light motion detector cluster in the center of the windshield, or are you better off bringing up the power from the fuse panel and hiding the wires?

POST 2Original post

Running from the fuse box or center console will definitely get you a switched power source, but then you have to fish wires up the A pillar. The dome light is located conveniently, but I believe none of the power sources are switched. If you can always remember to turn off/unplug, the dome light is closest to tap. I recently figured out a way to use a computer fan power extension cable to tap the dome light connector without having to cut into the car's wiring, but I really wanted to go with a switched source so I ran a phone cord around the A pillar to the center console (I found pins that fit the console plug, see my post in the GT3 forum).
