Brake Override Malfunction after Brake Controller Install

I attempted to install a Curt brake controller in my '16 SR5 today. I'm hard wiring the controller to the truck, since I have no brake controller plug (no factory tow package). Of the four wires at the brake pedal switch (red, black, blue, purple), etrailer stated that the red was COLD - and therefore the one I need to splice into for the signal to the controller. I did so, and upon starting the truck, now receive the Brake Override Malfunction warning (looks just like this), and cannot shift out of park. I disconnected the brake controller, but still receive the warning and can't move the vehicle.

Any thoughts??

 

You blew a fuse..
Maybe more than one.
Check all of them.

 

Yes, you're right...thank you! In my disappointment/fury after seeing the message, checking the fuses totally slipped my mind.

For anyone wondering, the "cold" wire on a 2016 Tacoma's brake pedal switch is the blue wire.

 

At least you didn't let the magic smoke out. Trucks need magic to work.

 

did changeing the fuses take away the break override malfunction light??

 

Yes
