12v power leads near rear view mirror / lights?

I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any 12v power leads near the top of the windsheild at the center. Are the map lights or dome lights 12v? What about the sunroof motors?

thanks

A single wire connector thats green and orange that goes to the sw. Another on the sw thats a five wire connector. Another connector for one relay thats a four connector plug, two wires on top, two on bottom, another relay connector with four wires straight across.
http://www.fc3s.org the eighty eight manual with the wiring diagrams.

Sorry. Sw is short for switch. I got lazy. If you look at the schematics in the 88 manual at http://www.iluvmyrx7.com or http://www.fc3s.org there is a page dedicated to the sliding roof and it shows the location of those two relays and switch. Also the color of the wires in the connectors so you can match up the ones on your car.

Oh, the sw or switch is the one for opening and shutting the sliding roof.

I use the sunroof (ign switched) power for the radar detector, and the map light (full time) power for the garage door opener.
O, yeah - and the cigar lighter (ign switched) power for the daytime running lights (relay)..

Not sure if the coupes use the same wiring as the verts. But verts have the dome light right above the rear view mirror so there would be a 12v lead there. The verts may have been the only 7s with this wiring though.

Oops, I said map light, but I meant "Dome" light.
