Mirror power connector
 
Hello.

Does anybody know where to find power connectors (both male and female) for Mazda 3 gen2 auto-dimmed mirror?

Tnx.

Are you trying to find where to tap power, or do you need the wiring harness? The power tap is located in the wiring bundle behind the outer driver's kick panel. IIRC it's a red wire with spots but no stripe. Really any switched power source will work fine.

I need to split power to connect a radar detector behind the mirror.

Having a pair of connectors would definitely be a cleaner solution, but, I have no idea where to find them...

Okay so you want to tap the switched power for the radar detector off of the harness for the mirror. To make it clean you want a pair of male and female connectors to make a split for the wire you want to tap. You're making this way more difficult than you need to. Just tap the 12v switched wire on the mirror harness and the ground, or do what they did and tap both in the wiring bundle behind the outer driver's kick panel and run it up the a-post. Removing the covers only takes a minute or two so it's really easy to access.
