How can you wire a 3 wire attic fan to a 2 wire thermostat?
If your thermostat is designed to switch the fan on and off at say 120 volts, then it acts just like a switch. This means that you insert the two wires from the thermostat in series with the black wire going to the fan. So let's say you have a supply of power for fan that has black, white and bare wire ground. You connect the white to white on fan and ground to ground. You then connect one wire of the thermostat switch to supply black and one to fan black wire. If you are unsure of the type of thermostat or anything else get an electrician. This is just one possible solution given the information provided.

Why not hook ground to neutral since they are hooked on same spot in breaker box why not in outlet box.?
The "hot" wire and the neutral wire both carry current (the same amount, in fact) when a load is connected to complete the circuit. The ground wire never carries current except when a fault-to-ground situation occurs. Yes, neutral and ground wires should both be at ground potential, but NO they should not be connected at the outlet.

How do you bypass the parking brake by grounding wires?
on my older jvc its no problem at all just ground the wire that your radio says to hook up to the ebrake. newer ones and like my pioneer need to have the radio turned on first then ground that wire. trick is --- get a standard universal relay--- like from autozone for your aftermarket driving/fog lights. take the 85 terminal of your relay and hook it to your radios power amplifier wire(usually blue with white stripe), take the 86 terminal and hook it to ground. take the 87 terminal and hook to the same ground, and finally take the 30 terminal and hook it to you radios ebrake wire. simple :-)
