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 :-)
i need to hook up the video wire so i can play dvds. i need to bypass the parking brake. how do i hook up the wires to bypass the brake issue
Short in wires or wired incorrectly.
hmm not sure what grounding wires your talking about but most wires bolted to metal are ground wires
Make sure the master cylinder is full of brake fluid Make sure brake is fully released--pull on pas if it foot type or push down on handle type Remove wires from switch either under foot pad or under handle
There is a small (approx. 18 gauge) brown wire and a black wire that run from the drivers side floor board - the two wires are together and end at a tiny connector. The brown is "hot" with key on, the black is grounded. If you are missing the switch (like my car was), you can improvise with a normal pin switch and a metal bracket (I had to dremel tool it to fit). Hook up the brown wire to the bottom of the pin switch and the black wire to the frame of the pin switch (so the wires will be connected when the pin switch is engaged). Install the pin switch so that the switch is disengaged (ie not connected) when the parking brake is off. If you have the switch in the right spot, only a slight pressing of the parking brake will engage the switch, which connects the wires and turns on the "brake" light on the dash! In my car, the pin switch sits about perpendicular to the ground and the "pin" sits in a crevice at the top of the parking brake. This crevice moves upward when you depress the parking brake, which then allows the pin switch to expand. Releasing the parking brake compresses the pin switch. Electrically the brown wire needs to be grounded for the light to come on.
Find the switch attached to the brake pedal for the shift interlock and jump the two wires together. Be careful not to disconnect the brake light switch
If it's the same as the DeVille, it is located under the dash on the driver's side, behind and between the parking brake pedal and the brake pedal. There will be a large bundle of wires in front of it.
Are you blowing fuses or are the bulbs blowing? Blowing fuses would be a sign of any wires or metal contacts in your brake circuit grounding out or shorting on themselves. You'll have to check all of the wiring in your brake light/switch circuit to be sure.
sounds like you have a shorted wire somewhere in the circuit. If your jeep has a trailer harness or has rust at the rear of the jeep, look for wires that may be grounding out. Could be easy or a nightmare but this is a good place to start.
You should never by pass any safety sensors on your lawn mower. BUT :for testing your brake sensor you can try taking the wires off the switch that is hooked ether at the back of the peddle or on the linkage and join them together .That should bypass it until you get a new switch.
Most are insulated to keep them from grounding out or interference.
it might be grounding out check wires
