Hello,

 

2005 Ford F150 Supercrew 4x4

 

I just recently got my new F90 installed at the dealership and uploaded the Cmh928 4.5.09 mod

 

Now I am trying to ground this parking break wire and can't find it? What color is it and where should it be located?

 

is this the only step I lack in having access to the parking break mod?

 

thanks for all your help!

The Parking brake wire is a light green Color wire and it has a label on it that says parking brake. That is what needs to be grounded and it can be grounded to anything that is metal that will support a ground.

Keep in mind that if you're attempting the bypass, you need to also relocate the yellow/black wire (on connector 1, same as the AV in's and out's) up 1, and over 3 between 2 black wires, and ground that as well.

 

If you really mean tapping into the vehicle parking brake, then that's not grounding, but the vehicle's wire will be connected to the actual brake itself.

No, that's not true. There is no need for the OP to move and ground the mute wire. He has done the Cmh928 4.5.09 mod. It includes the software bypass.

 

OP: Be sure to cut or disconnect the green parking brake wire from any truck wiring before you ground it [the green wire from the AVIC]. Otherwise, you would get a constant parking brake on warning on the dash.

are these wires located on the harness that comes with the H.U. or the harness that came with the car?

just grounding the parking brake wire doesn't work, you need to do one of the parking brake bypasses, either hardware or software
