Where to find the roof power cables

[chrsbe]

On the roof outlets it would be convenient for me to have two separate circuits on the passenger side as well. One switch for the front outlet and another for the rear one, just like on the driver’s side. It would also be helpful to know where the wires come together. Does anyone have a tip on that?

There is a thread here on that and I think Jean Mercier wrote it.

Here is a start

Thread 'Internal Connectors for External Roof Power Outlets (U.S.) - Discovery, Investigation, and Question'

I am in the process of following in @Jean Mercier's footsteps to connect the solar panel on my tent through the rear right external roof power outlet (as described by Jean here). As shown in Jean's helpful pic as well as the Buzz Overland pic of the same area in their Gutted Grenadier thread, the internal connector for the roof power outlet in their builds was a DTP connector - just like the connector at the external power outlet:

Imagine my surprise when I finally removed enough trim panels to take a peek...

Wonderful to see that there is already a plug installed on the roof cables inside the car. Looks like this will be an easy job. Naturally, my next question is how to remove the headliner. I know some folks here have done it, but I couldn’t find any good information.

It is here somewhere, but not currently in my links. I will add it if some one posts it.
