MTaurusSHO Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I plan to install this setup to the car, and I have a few questions. How does the rain sensing/auto high beam bracket come off so I can tuck the wire in there? How does the driver side a pillar come off? Where can I find a power wire, on with ign? Where should I mount the 1x1.5x.5 live module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Rod Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm not sure if there is a difference here between the 2010-2012 and the 2013, but what year is your SHO? -Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Rod Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Here's what the service manual says for the 2011 model year: ------------------ Unsnap the connector access cover from the LH side of the HCM-2 . Disconnect the electrical connector from the headliner harness. NOTICE: Do not use a metal tool or screwdriver, or pry on the cover or bracket. Damage to the bracket or windshield can occur. NOTE: The snap locations are marked on the HCM-2 housing with 2 very small cutouts on the RH side. NOTE: The HCM-2 is removed by separating the right side of the assembly from the windshield and sliding to the right. There is also hook-and-loop tape between the inside of the cover and the rain sensor. While gently pulling downward on the right side of the cover, insert a thin plastic flat-bladed tool at each cutout notch and release the retaining clips. Separate the HCM-2 from the windshield and disconnect the electrical connector from the rain sensor. ---------------- -Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I just tucked the wire behind the A pillar. Did not need to take it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTaurusSHO Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have a 13. Thanks guys I was beginning to think I was the only one with a direct wired escort.. Where are you mounting the live unit, and where are you guys pulling switched ign power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTaurusSHO Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm gonna tackle this project this week, anyone know where I can get the switched power source from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hmmm, sorry, my power is coming from under the steering column, tapped into a wire, but it is on all the time. I'm using a Redline by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTaurusSHO Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I haven't even started this project, I called blend mount and they had me send them pictures. Well it turns out that they don't have a mount for our cars with the auto highbeam/rain sens mirrors. So I am still rolling with the suction cups and cig power cord.

SoCalSHO Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Interesting, did not think that your '13 varied too much from my '10. I also have the rain sensor and auto highbeams, and I use a blendmount. Can you post a picture of yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imminent Rueage Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 If you tap into one of the empty "accessory" fuse slots under the drivers side dash, you will get instant on/off with ignition. I was having a heck of a time with it back when i hard-wired my 955, thinking one of the navigation or audio fuses would work for this but they stayed on even with the ignition off. I think i ended up trying almost every fuse until i decided to try one of the empty "accessory" slots. /facepalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
