Re: [T3] Brake warning light wiring on 68 Squareback

[BOB2TYPE3S@aol.com]

Ok, according to my Bentley ( 68 to 73 Brown cover) the red wire is for the 
brake warning light, and the black and red striped one is for the actual brake 
lights. These used the 3 prong switches versus the earlier 2 prong switches. 
There are 3 wires to the warning light, black (from the fuse box 4th from the 
right on a 12 terminal fuse box), solid red from the switches, brown (ground) 
from the #31 terminal of the 4 way relay. This was from the Aug 67 (68 to 70 
models) wiring diagram. I hope this helps. Like Jim said, if the light comes on 
you should already know you had a problem, as the light only senses a problem 
(usually after you found out) between the 2 circuits. I think you might have 
had the right idea that it was an internal brake light letting you know they 
were on??I hope this helps.
