I have a 96 SE-7. I am trying to install a homelink module. In the conslole just abov the mirror(where the homelink is to be installed)there are three wires connected to a factory harness. These wires are white with a green stripe, black w/brown strip and black. I do not seem to be getting power to this harness. Yes ive turned the key on. Any ideas as to which wires are which (i.e. hot, ground etc.)?

The black wire is almost certainly the negative lead, and one of the other ones should be positive, but only hot when the ignition is on.

Seems to be the way that Rovers go - they need to have the ignition on or even started to show power (like the brake lights). Get a cheap 12v tester (the ones with the little light in the clear plastic handle) and poke the wire connectors to narrow down where the 12v is.
