Sadly I have no idea how these things are supposed to be wired, since Radar is not used in my country and any detection stuff is highly illegal anyway.
Assume it needs at least 12V power source and a ground (which might have been compromised during the removal)?

radar detectors are generally wired exactly the same as dash cameras. there's usually a barrel jack input. that barrel jack is normally wired to switched/acceessory power so it comes on when the car comes on, and shuts off with the car.
really simple devices. but there's no telling what happens with some people's wiring methods
