Corkey,
I have my manual and have installed the Even Brake on 2 other vehicles (2002 Cougar and 2007 Edge), both of which required a signal to the ICX controller from the brake light switch (or from a brake light lead).
There is no problem connecting the Even Brake.
The problem lies with the point of no 12 VDC to the brake light switch unless the ignition is turned to "ON".
In truth, I'm trying to work around the ignition switch to get power to the brake light switch without modifying the circuit(s) of a brand-new car (the plug on the switch has 4 leads and is very difficult to get to).
