Have you fixed your brake problem?
Re: Electric brake vehicle connection Bill 8-9-09  
Rich,

Thank you for your reply. I have checked my wiring several times, and it is wired correctly according to the manufacturer. My problem is that I don't have power even at the connector that is plugged into the box under the dash. I pulled the harness plug out and checked the connections at the box itself, and I have no voltage there either. GM says that if you don't have the auxillary battery option (and I don't) that you have to connect the 40 amp fuse that they supplied, into the #1 stud spot in the electrical box under the hood. I did, and even swapped it out with another one, and I still have no voltage. I even looked behind the connector box under the dash, to make sure that the factory didn't forget to make the connections at the box, but the wires are connected just as they should be.
