Ok, I got everything installed,(parking brake override)and everything seems to be working correctly on the unit. My parking brake notification on my vehicle's display will not go off, causing an annoying chime to go off. Is it normal for vehicles to display the parking brake being on even though it isn't?

no, not normal. what do you mean "parking break override"? sounds like your grounding the parking break.

Is the parking brake hooked up to the vehicle AND grounded as well? If that's the case, then that's why your truck is saying the parking brake is on even if it's off. Just disconnect the parking brake wire from the vehicle's wire and you should be fine.

Can you please tell me where to find the reverse wire in the 06 F250? I have the same truck and can't locate it. Also, Is it Black/pink or Pink with a black stripe. Thanks

Reverse Light black/pink + back of fuse box, black 8 pin plug

That's Black with a pink stripe. You can also find it at the switch for the reverse sensors in the dash if your truck came with that.

I have the reverse sensor and don't have a black/pink wire attached to the swith. I have a pink wire with a gren stripe and an all black wire, along with two others that are neither black nor pink. Please help.

This is an 2006 F-250

If you can't find it where I said in the other post, grab a meter and look in either the drivers or passengers kick panel. If you pull those out you'll see wires that run to the back of the truck. Should be the same color. The wire will show +12 volts when you put the truck into reverse.

i'm having a problem with the parking brake also. the 2 wires to the brake switch neither seem to be positive. i connected to each one seperately and i get the brake wire error on both of them. what do i do or can i bypass it.
