Re: Brake Wire Issue

Nothing stock would be attached to the brake light switch via a third wire. Normally the brake switch has only 2 wires connected - a red wire for power coming from a circuit breaker mounted on the top of the instrument cluster and a green wire which goes to an inline connector also under the dash which then connects to the rear loom and provides the voltage to the brake lights. Both of those wires end in female bullet connectors which plug onto the pins of the brake switch. Your wires are probably very faded to see colors but could you tell which wire the ring connector is connected to and is that a fuse holder in the wire? Depending on whether the hanging wire was supplying power to something or supplying a brake on signal might help to guess what it might have been doing. Do you currently have power at one of the wires at the brake switch?
