- 2017 Explorer XLT
Greetings all,
I was hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I have recently purchased a dash cam for my 2017 Explorer XLT and would like to hard wire it. I am not interested in using a fuse tap and would like to keep it simple and wire it in the pillar since it's easy to get to. My wiring is different than the other thread with pictures of a red wire that is 12V with accessory. I do not have that red wire. I can start to poke around and test the wires but the airbag makes me a bit nervous. I have read stories of people setting them off by accidentally shorting the wires while probing.
So, in short, does anyone know definitively what wire in the driver or passenger side pillar is 12V accessory?
Thanks for helping
