I've gone through buying a $200 refurbished actuator on ebay but it did not work. Unfortunately it took several months before I got this installed so I'm sure the ebay seller won't give me a refund anymore.

I'm already sick and tired of this error message and found out that I can live without the parking brake function anyway (at least until another solution presents itself). I just want to get rid of the annoying error message. DO you guys know how to disable this? I already know that my parking brake actuator is busted and I don't need to get reminded every time I use the X. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
