Chrysler Repair: Overhead Console in 08 Chrysler 300, chrysler edition, night mirror


Question
QUESTION: I need to access the mirror wires behind the overhead console in my wife's 08 Chrysler 300 (Walter P. Chrysler Edition). Due to an upgrade to Homelink mirror made by the dealer, the UConnect mic is no longer present. I need to add the Mopar external mic by the overhead console and need to access that wiring harness. Can you tell me how to get the console out for me to do that?

ANSWER: REMOVAL

 
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Pull downward on the sides of the overhead console housing firmly and evenly to disengage the snap clips from the overhead console bracket.



 
3. Lower the overhead console from the headliner far enough to access the wire harness connectors (2).
4. Disconnect the roof wire harness connectors (2) from the overhead console wire harness connector.
5. Remove the overhead console from the headliner.

QUESTION: Perfect! Thank you so much. Can you tell me the wire colors for the wires that belong to the UConnect mic in that harness behind the console? The Mopar mic I bought has three wires coming from it.
