I'm trying to install a Aftermarket Generation AGA-1201 Remote Start/Alarm into my 1991 Ford Ranger (auto trans). The parking brake in my truck is disconnected (I bought it broken and never fixed it).

The manual says I need to hook up the "Neutral Safety/Parking Brake Switch Input". I've read some posts here that indicated I could just ground that wire, and that it's not actually used on auto transmissions. Is that true, and if not, is there any way I can install this without having to fix my parking brake?

Thanks much!

When the brake is up, its grounded, when its down its not - hence grounding it will trick it - works for NAV systems too
