Installed some headrest monitors and a dvd player in my 2002 Explorer. All went well with the exception of one thing. I wanted to use the Radio's Switched power lead (BLACK/ Pink) to power the system, but it wouldn't work. I hooked a voltmeter to the wire and it was a tad over 12v so I don't understand why. I ended up using the 12V constant and everything worked but I don't like that because I have to turn everything off when I stop. Small price to pay to keep the kids quiet but would like to get it on a switched circuit.

Any ideas?? Maybe another wasy place to grab a switched power from..

Thanks,

Chuck

Ok did some reading and installed the relay.. The switched radio power wouldnt work.. Actually had to use a switched power on the automatic temp control panel.. not thrilled with that one but it worked.. Anyone got a better place??

BTW couldnt find a switched fuse either.,,

Acc wire at the key. You can also come off of that wire with a switch, then to your relay. That way it will only come on when the ign is on, but you can turn it off and on as you please.
