Title: Handbrake sensor?
Post by: oliverash on August 26, 2007, 09:20:10 PM
Does anyone know where to find the sensor that detects when the handbrake is applied? until my head unit is wired into that it wont let me watch dvds.
 
iv been bent double trying to look underneath the dash but without knowing exactly what to look for i cant go any further.
