Hey fellas,
I'm in the process of attempting to hardwire my Escort 8500.
I've chosen the radio fuse to install. Last night I spent waaaaayyy too long trying to get it to work only to fail.
I initially tried to wire directly by wrapping wire directly around the fuse and inserting into box....Grounded at the brake pull......Turned on car radio works...No detector.
Went and purchased add a fuse....Put 25 amp fuse and 3 amp fuse in the buss...inserted back in the radio slot....Radio worked....No detector...
Pissed because this is a simple 15 min project that I have spent at least 2 hours and still failing.....
Has anyone hardwired their detector out there?? If so how'd you do it?
Thanks
