It was just a blown 5 amp fuse. For some reason the pins that I inserted into the connector had an intermittent connection. The V1 powered on and off several times in just a few seconds when I jiggled the wires. This evidently heated up the fuse enough to blow.

My local shop says that they do not recommend adding yet another load to the mirror circuit. 5 amps is a small load limit, and that particular fuse is already handling the loads from the mirror sensor/dimmer + digital compass + universal garage door transmitter, among other things (flashing alarm light, UGDO LEDs, etc).

I'll be powering my V1 from an alternate source. Can't recommend using Mirror Tap.

(Note: the blown fuse was in the fuse box under the hood, not the one in the trunk.)
