Manually Activating EBPV

Is there a way I can activate the EBPV manually? I would like to be able to turn it on and off. Doesnt have to be a permanent or "in cab" setup. I want to be able to activate it temporarily for diagnostic purposes.

The only way I know of is to send an electrical signal to the solenoid. Try searching on here for "EBPV brake." I'm sure you can just set up a temporary way to send the signal without wiring in the switch and all like I did.

Yeah lots of guys use it as a exhaust brake, look up exhaust break mod it works really slick all you need is a switch and a relay! Fun cheap mod!

Here trey - try this one. only reason i liked this one more is because when you take your foot off the pedel it will automatically put the brake on. kinda like a jake brake on a big rig...least thats what we have on our rigs at the firehouse. once you hook it up to a momentary switch your golden.
