Hi Idle Mod Don't Work?

Hooked up my hi idle mod on my 05 F250 6.0 Auto Trans. When I hit the button, nothing happens, I've done this mod before on other trucks, but this is first for me that it don't work. Used the purple wire with green stripe, tried with the parking brake on, off , truck in park, neutral, nothing, any ideas???

Is your E-brake switch working the right way? Does it show
that it's on in the panel?
After that are you sure that you got 12V to the wire that is
hooked to the switch.

OK figured it out,for power I used a red wire that was in the upfitter bundle, when I checked it with the light it was kinda dim, but my batteries were low so I thought nothing of it. I found a white wire with blue stripe over near the accelerator peddle and it was brighter when I tested it, hooked to it and it works, that other wire had juice in it, but somehow it must have been less than 12 volts, hope this helps someone else, use the white wire, with blue stripe above your accelerator for the power feed, and yes its keyed power.
