Overhead console in your VX?

[slutty22]

How did you end up wiring that in, I have the same one.

Looks very nice...after seeing MAV's overhead console project I went on the search for my project. Mine came out of a Ford Windstar. Been in around two years and I love it...fits the roof line perfect..

Includes.. Dome lights, Pop down Convex mirror (to watch the kids in back), Change holder, Sunglasses compartment and consealed door opener push panel. Also has rear volume controls for back seat passangers, not completed.

Sorry for the quality of the pic's...old camera

you could wire that in from the OEM cabin light

Thats what Im trying to do however the concole has a main harness one which leads to the lights and the other that leads to the front for some switches, I am wondering if he removed the circuit board from the original light and parralled it in front of these lights or just direct wired in?
I tried the direct approach and some weird things started happening.

didnt have time to install it yet, because Im going to pull
the headliner down when I do it, recover the headliner in a nice
vinyl.
Then Im going to mount the new overhead to the headliner
wire it up to come on with or without the key on, nothing
too hard there
and then remount my headliner with the new overhead.

Ill probably attack mine next week
and let you know what I find out

Just some food for thought...

I painted mine to match my dash.
Also cut down & re-used the guts of the stock dome light, to keep the "dim down" function...
