Parkbrake override kit

[JustBadly]

Here is my mini override kit for the Jag parkbrake. It connects between the two supply wires for the parkbrake into a junction box. When switched to 'CAR' the parkbrake operates normally, when switched to 'OVER' the parkbrake motor is isolated from the vehicle electrics, the leads are then connected to the battery and the silver button is pressed. This only releases the parkbrake. It is simple to manually override the parkbrake but I figured on installing this box, since if I ever needed to release the parkbrake due to a fault I wouldn't want to spend 45 minutes taking the car apart. But having a little box in the boot makes it a 30 second job. 

It's one of those things I thought either I fit it now or I never will and it's just proof of concept at the moment.

That sounds really useful!

I haven't had this problem though since I changed the battery.
