Talking Radar detector hard wire stopped working

I have an escort detector hard wired by previous owner in the overhead console of the F10. After 9 months of working fine or stopped working. No power from the connector.
The cig power adaptor works fine.
Is there a fuze somewhere I can check?
Please help

You might need to open the done light area and see if the self tap came loose. Real easy to get off. Search f10 v1 install on YouTube. Good luck!

You might need to open the dome light area and check to see if the self tap connection came loose. Real easy to check for. Search for f10 v1 install on you tube. Good luck!

Thanks! Just opened the thingy behind the mirror and the radar was tapped into the connector there. The pin became loose.

Did I tap the right power wire? On the video it shows a bright green/ brown wire but I do not see that. Is it the red/green wire?

Any help ASAP would be great.
