I got a GM mirror from a Suburban today, one that shows the temp and direction on the upper right corner. I found a thread on Expedition Portal of a guy that put one in a ZJ which made me think I could do the XJ.
It is a 7 pin connector. I know that pin 1 is the ground, pin 2 is the power, pins 3-5 are not needed in this application, and pin 6 & 7 run to the temp sensor that will get mounted in the grill.
So, my big questions are about pin 1 and pin 2. The ground pin wire, I can just run that to about anywhere that it will be against metal, right. The power pin, any suggestions? I thought about tapping it into the power outlet that gets juice when the key is on. One of the two is always hot, the other isn't.
I've never really done any wiring before - short of getting my CB hooked up. Am I on the right track? Not sure it matters to anyone's answers, but the wire is a 20 gauge.
