ok i pick the valve up http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WIL-260-11179/ and was wondering if i can just extend the factory wire from the stock valve to the new one or do i have to find a 12v source also?

Brake Proportioning Valve wiring help
- Thread starter stunter2boy79
- Start date
The wire is your brake warning light. Just extend however many wires you have on the switch now to the new valve.
But why are you going to move it?
Or maybe better yet, what are you going to do with this valve?

moving it due to putting the new valve close to the MC. pretty much to keep it from rusting like the stock one. i ran all new lines from MC to valve to calipers.
Using the new valve to replace the old stock valve.

It should be a single wire switch and it is a ground switch. When it trips it grounds the wire out and turns the Brake light on in the dash. The in dash brake light circuit has 12v power when the ignition is on.
Edit: in factory configuration the proportioning valve is directly mounted a frame crossmember and gets the ground through that. Make sure you provide a ground to the new valve by mounting it to a grounded steel surface that isn't going to move much. Look at the paperwork you get, the valve you are using may just need a ground wire provided to one post, and the second goes to the dash using the stock wire. There should be no issue moving, extending, or even cutting the length down to bring it closer to the MC.
