[QUOTE="zane, post: 386293, member: 540617"] Doesn't sound like it needs to be grounded. It sounds as if that wire needs to recieve a + (lead) voltage to it to engage the video display. Using a test probe, measure the voltage on the + (lead) wire from the e-brake while it is engaged. (should be a standard 12 V - but better to test and be sure.) All you would need to do then is install a + (fused) wire and connect it to the proper wire on the unit itself. You would essentially be bypassing the switched + On signal that is sent from the e-brake to the light when the brake is engauged. Instead, you would have a constant signal (rather than switched) effectively "fooling" the unit into displaying video. [/QUOTE]
