I'm considering hard wiring a radar detector, but don't want to use the mirror tap as I want to put it in a different location. Anyone know where the fuse box is and how to go about tapping it for a detector? Which fuse that is.

I can't help you on the exact fuse but the box is located underneath the glove box

Thanks. I'm looking to put it in the lower left window. I know not ideal for signal, but I've always had it down there and it's down out of the way. I don't like it hanging right below the mirror and if I put it high up on a side of the windor you can't put that visor down. Perhaps I could run a mirror tap down to the corner of the window.

i'm trying to get to the fuse-box under the glove compartment,
but having a moment removing the panel entirely so i can gain access.

there are two plastic turn-to-release bolts which are easy.

then there is a wire-harness for a little light on the underside of the panel.

i was able to detach the harness itself using a paper-clip to push in the little tab to pull out the harness.

now the wire itself is attached to the panel with another attachment clip and i can't figure out how to detach it from the panel to remove the panel completely.

anyone get through this step that can share some detail?

The metal clip is just pressure fit onto both sides of the plastic tab of the trim kit... it just slid straight up and away from the trim face with a little force.
