EBPV Brake

HI, I just wired up the EBPV brake and when I turn on the swith nothing happend. I have power going to the the sensor. I followed the direction from Diesel garage. I did not implement the braking part. Just a simple switch going to the diodes. What should I check for? What are the possible bad parts. On a note in the cold weather we been having here I never heard the noise I hear people say so I dont know if this worked to warm the truck. What should I test next?

Thanks
Russ

did you cut the connector off the EBPV brake solenoid just under the turbo to wire it direct, if so, and you got the hot wire right, it should work, if not, you may have the wires backwards, if you did it another way, im not sure where to start, if your ecu is still connected to the solenoid, id check your fuse panel maybe.
mine only works when i flip the switch.

I was not able to disconnect the EBPV and move the rod. I will try tomorrow. I was able to removoe the diodes and put power to the sensor. Nothing happened. I will try to move the EBPV rod. Is there a way to test the sensor? Is it a sensor or a solenoid?
