tk2fast Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Not quite sure if this is the best place to post this but here it is. I'm looking for the wiring diagrams for the overhead console and power to the rear view mirror area. I've searched this forum to no avail with only info on other models that don't apply to the new 2019 Edge. Trying to pinpoint power only when vehicle runs. A wiring diagram would make this a lot easier rather than testing several connectors in this area. Appreciate any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk2fast Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) After adapting my volt meter probes to get into the small connectors on the wiring harness, here is what I found. The rear view mirror connector is really the only logical place to get 12 volts in this area. The overhead console is a no go, as the connector has extremely small connections and is thereby exceptionally hard to make any physical connection and that whole assembly is one piece. So I tinned two pieces of wire at the ends so I could securely insert them into the inlet wiring side of the connectors and taped the wiring bundle with 88 electrical tape. This has left me two "pigtails" for my 12 volts & common, with each having a 1/4" connector attached. Now all I have to do is plug my camera in. Will update when I actually test this out for a while. Update: 3/19/2019. This has worked out fine so far. No cord hanging down. Still, this was a pain in the rear to do. It would be so nice if auto mfg's put a power source in the upper console area. I know, wishful thinking. Edited March 19, 2019 by tk2fast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobyellow Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I used FORScan to set the PowerPoint timeout to 1 second (default is 1hr 15min). Then I can just plug into the 12v cigarette plug with USB plug. This looks good though. Might need to change things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witold Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I would like to connect my dash cam to 12V to rear morror connetor. Has the Blue W/ BRN cable power only when vehicle runs or always? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
