Default Front Brake Light Switch

Hello,

My evo did not come with a front brake light switch. Looks like the previous owner removed the wires and switch.

Please let me know which pin connects to the two wires on the switch?

Thanks!

This diagram isn't the greatest, but assuming it's correct, it looks like there should be an orange wire bringing power to the front brake switch when the ignition switch is on, and then a red wire sending the current from the front brake switch to the brake filament in the taillight.

The picture shows the right hand switch connector unplugged.

The wire colors will be orange and red.

Match them up with the wires on the back of the unplugged connector.

Don`t count on the wires being in the slot shown on the wiring diagram, always check the corresponding wires on the mating connector.

Mine was slightly different from the way shown, from the factory.

Thanks for the follow up.
