yeah, are you hooking up a in dash screen, i did one of those the other day. and you have to hook a sensor to the E brake, so the screen thinks that your completely stopped before it will let you view anything video.

If you're interested...if you just ground that wire, the screen will play at all times, whether the e-brake is on or not (hint, hint). All that wire does is carry the ground to the e-brake light so it grounds out and lights up when you pull (or push, whatever) the e-brake
