High idle mod ?

I would like to do the high idle mod on my 04 PSD. I haven't found the correct wire behind the brake yet.I found a orange one will that work?my wife drives this truck mostly, will she have to remember to shut off the switch or when she applies the brake it should idle down? Now if the switch isn't turned off will it cause any problems to drive it like that? Thanks

You have the right one for 05 06 its orange. The 03 04 light blue yellow strip. In tech folder you had choice of model year, you picked wrong one. I leave switch on sometimes it doesn't seem to hurt.

Switch either way is ok to drive. Will not hi idle with break on OR not in park! It is a great mod!
