i did the bypass on my D3 yesterday. everything works with out using the E-Brake. but when i start to drive, it stops working( all touch screne bottons turn gray). but when i stop, they work. is it because i have the speed signal wire hooked up? please help.

sounds to me like something is wrong with the bypass.

if you did the bypass correctly, i dont believe you would have plugged into the speed sensor

with the speed sensor plugged in, it'll dissable the screen.

when you do the bypass you have to ground the speed sensor

Nope, I got the VSS hooked up on mine, it has no effect on the bypass. Double check your work and make sure all connections are right and secure, if you think they are right, check again, it will work.

P.S. I was having trouble with the illumination with my PAC harness and would have bet my next paycheck that I had a good connection. Finally tore the dash back down and re-did the butt connector and guess what....

i did what everyone said to do. moved the yellow/black wire to the slot right above its orriginal spot and ground it along with the green wire for P-Brake. but i will check again for bad connection. i know when i start my truck up, its says that the P-Brake incorrectly wired.

When you ground the parking brake wire, did you ground it to the parking brake or to another ground (any ground will do). Cause if you grounded it to the parking brake then you would have to have the brake on for it to work. All you have to do is ground it to the same ground as the avic is grounded to in the wiring harness and it will work fine.

i have it grouded to the metal frame thats under the dash alog with the yellow/black wire.

That should work fine, Just make sure that the ground is good and the connection secure. I find that its easier just to make a ground bundle when doing an install for all the grounds to a factory chassis ground, ie... hook up the avic, bypass, bluetooth and satellite radio grounds all together and them connecting them into the factory ground in the wiring harness.

Just check and make sure that the pin is secure in the accesory connector, some seem to have trouble with that

yea, i did have a problem getting it back into the connector. i'll be geting off of work here in about 30 min. so i'll check that when i get home. now, the ground for the avic, i used the one that was in the factory harness.

just take the brake wire and the bypassed mute wire and splice them into the factory ground where you grounded the avic, that would work just fine.

i'll try that and if it dosn't work, i'll get back with you. thanks

No Prob, Your Welcome

everything is working now. the yellow/black wire popped out of the harness. but the airbag light was on so i disconneted the battery to reset the puter, and now its off. thanks again kaplan_reject.

Anytime, Glad I could help

if i need anymore help, i guess i have too come to you. but one more question, you work on pipelines? i see that you are from louisisana, i'm a welder myself, but i fabricate steel for oil refinories and pipe racks for piplines. just a

Yeah, I work the lines, Right now Im working for Cheniere Energy on there Creole Trail Pipeline which goes from Sabine Pass on the Texas Louisiana border to North of Lake Charles Louisiana. I myself am from a little town called Kaplan (hence the name) which is south of Lafayette. I am a Welding Inspector (AWS CWI).

Who do you work for???

Cool, If you havent yet get your CWI, it helps a lot in getting on major jobs (hint hint salary increases... lol)... Plus its always a good thing to have more certs.
