New here!🥰

Hello all!👋

Roy and Tammy here! A Couple Adventurers’!
So we finally bought our bus and started reno!
Gracie, she’s a 2010 International DT466
Here’s the thing! I disconnected all the emergency doors and windows and I thought I had grounded all the wires, now she has her parking brake locked!
She turns over but will not move because of the brake!

How do I fix this?!?
Thx, T

What about the 'No child left behind" system. What has been done with the reset button in the rear?
Disconnected? Unplugged above the window or in the fuse panel? Not cut wires, right?

At the back of the bus is a switch or button that must be pushed for 3 seconds or so after ignition is turned off. This is to force the driver to go all the way to the back of the bus before leaving the bus.
Doing so, there is a better chance they will notice a child sleeping away.
If not pushed, an alarm and horns come on.

Maybe if not pushed in time it also opens shuts off air to the brakes?

Don't know what all it does, but then I did not stay at a holiday inn express last night either.

@DeMac

I have disconnected all those wires and ground them.
I will check that button amd see if that may be the problem.

Thanks!
