Urgent Help Request

I bought a 99 Villager with what appears to be an aftermarket Visteon entertainment console between the front seats (flip-up video, VC player, video game inputs) and cannot get the power to come on.

I'm taking the kids on a loooong drive this weekend and would really like to play something for them. Anyone know how this thing has been wired? I'm guessing it is a fuse but can't find one - or where any of the wires are for that matter.

I got zero help from dealer, Visteon and the only Visteon servicer is an hour and a half from me.

I'd sure appreciate any suggestions you can give.

Thanks!

i'm not trying to be insulting but does it plug into the cigarette lighter

No, this is too big a system to run off the lighter. It has a VCP, a tv screen and video game inputs, remote control, etc. and is a professionally installed aftermarket console. And no offense taken.

I ran into an aftermarket sunroof on an Explorer once that quit on a guy. Although it was professionaly installed they did a crappy job wiring it into the fusebox and it came loose. Get a test light and see if your getting power to the unit if not trace the wire.
