If its a dvd playing cd player it is so you cant watch dvd's while driving. Can be bypassed by just connecting it to the black ground wire. Or to the earth connetion on the back of the radio. Which is usually a screw that srews into a 5mm hole.

Where is the module that operates the rear running lights on a 1995 Jeep Cherokee

FUSE all good, F13 is park relay power feed.


running lamps on truck not trailers.
parking lamps are all dead front and rear,?????not told good and bad both.
park= tail = running lamps, 3names but sure we know what you mean.
well fuses are first
and no trailer hitch wiring wrecks ,mangled, as seen all the time,
that blows those fuses or cuts wires that must never be cut.
rear only fail and rear left right, only parks dead
3 bulbs not blown, , one blows and is ignored.
is rear license plate lamp dead too, that too is PARK feed.??????
are side maker lamps dead too? Park feed, yes.
G301 rear not rusty? ground for park.

park relay dead kills them all

L90 park runs them all,.
fuses are first,. or connectors end to end of the car L90 park are bad. both parks dead and license; lamp dead. are they
L90 is DB/RD dark blue? red stripe I think.

L90 feed runs all park lamps on the car, even front so
we know front works and L90 at the switch below is good
that means all 3 lamps on the rear are burned out (expected too this old)
or the wiring in the car, rear, is bad. L90 bad or grounds to all lamps bad or trailer hitch wiring messes. endless seen,.

What color is the park/running lights coming out fo the switch on 2012 ford f350 so wen i turn them on my new light come on

What type of light's are you installing ? What color is the park/running lights coming out fo the switch ?? What switch are you talking about ???? Headlamp ???? Mess with the wrong wire's an you'll short out the (SCCM) - steering column control module , The headlamp / running light's / park lamp's switch is just a input to the SCCM . Your best bet , don't mess with thing's you don't know about . Take it to a qualified repair shop. Hooking to wire's coming from the switch isn't going to do anything .

I have a 1996 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 and my headlights were working but then started flashing on and off Figured out it was a burnt up switch so i changed the switch and it solved the problem well now my...

Park lamps are powered by the black/yellow wire. Make sure that wire ix connecting the the park terminal on the switch. The green wire goes to headlight dimmer.

Wont play while im driving

hi, the problem with these dvd players is they have a safety feature that is connected to the parking brake and this means once the parking brake is taken off the dvd player then will stop.

PLEASE READ THIS.
you do this at your own risk keep reading and ill tell you how to best go about doing what you want, if you get caught using dvd whilst driving you will get a big fine and points on your license ok

Its not advised you use the dvd player whilst driving so i cant reccomend you doing any work to it yourself.

If say you wanted it working whilst driving so that a passenger could watch it then their is a way around getting this working whilst driving, if you get caught using this whilst driving you will get a fine and possible points on your license as your not supposed to have any working dvd in the front of the car whilst moving as you will get distracted.

Now the problem you have of getting this working whilst driving is that your going to need to get hold of the instructions that was used to fit the stereo as this will then tell you witch wire is connected to the parking brake once you have this you then need to bypass this wire by either earthing it out if its an earth wire or if its a possitive wire then you would need to wire this into a permanent live feed like the direct live feed into the stereo.
Now you could take the stereo out and see where all the wires go to doing this would then show you witch wire goes to the parking brake you would then need to test this wire to find out if its an earth or live type of wire, to do this you would need to get hold of a multimeter one of these will tell you if its a live or not.
If you find the wire thats connected to the parking brake you should be able to tell if its live or earth by looking at how its connected to the parking brake if its just earthed out then it will be an earth but if it goes to a switch on the parking brake then its more than likely a live wire.

On asking someone about your make and model of stereo it seems the parking brake wire is a brown wire and you then need to remove this wire from the parking brake and just earth it out on any part of the metal of your car this should then let you watch dvd whilst driving.

remember you do this at your own risk its not advisable to use a dvd whilst driving and you are breaking the law by doing this so i cant encourage you to go ahead with this type of work, if you really want to do this then take your time and double check you have the wires correct ok

its not worth taking the risk by just guessing as this could blow your stereo up leaving it scrap so its best this wire is tested.

If you are unsure what you are doing then please dont mess with it as any short will destroy the stereo and it has been known to cause several car fires so if it is a live make sure you use an in line fuse.

It would be a lot safer if you went to the makers web site and see if they have an instruction manual on their if they havent then they will send you one out for free this would be the best option for you.

If you really are unsure and have never wires stereos in before then leave it to someone who knows what their doing they may question why you want it working whilst driving but just tell them you drive a kid around who watches it to stop him being car sick, the sob story usually works

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance

Need to know where all three speed sensors are on 04 Jeep Liberty. My speedometer has quit working - all other guages on dashboard work.

It is located on the rear diff. at the top. The cable for the parking brake crosses close by and messes up the wiring.

HELP!!!!

there is a blue wire with a yellow stripe on this unit that if you hook it straight to ground you will never have to worry about it again.... This wire is actually the parking brake wire which only is to allow you to watch movies while you are stopped and the emergency brake is engaged but if you take it and hook it straight to ground it will bypass all that crap...
