the switch on the brake pedal may be bad. check for 12 volts on 1 side and the other side should have it as well when you push the pedal.

Thankyou!!!
It worked. I got it to work.
Hey I have another question.
This is for a 2002 Chevy extreme. I would like to know if I need a specific type of battery for it in order to have AC. I've had it without it and now that I installed it, it kills my battery. I'll get in to go to work and its as if it was dead. I let it sit there and turn the key again and it has little power. I start to crank it and it won't even crank til about the 5th or6th time iiiii turn the ignition. Then the battery goes back to its normal power while its on.
