Hi,

I am looking for a way to tap my stereo into the parking brake wire. But before I do that, I need to find the wire which, I cannot seem to do. It is a foot brake. I looked. I even stuck my phone up there. It must be very well hidden because neither me nor my friend could find it.

Can you show me where it is?

Thanks, as always.

I am not sure I understand which circuit you are looking for. You said the parking brake light but there is no light when you put the parking brake on (emergency brake). So I assume you mean the brake switch wire? If this is the case, is there a reason you want to put the radio on this wire?

However, I am attaching the info on this switch with the location and wiring diagram.

Please let us know a little more info on what you are trying to accomplish and I am sure there may be a better and easier wire to tap into.

Thanks
