Default Accessory switch?

The accessory switch on the dash is powered by the plug under the seat. The plug has 4 pins numbered 1 thru 4. Does anybody know which # pin controls the switch and what are the other 2 pins for?
Thanks Quigley

Actually, you've got it backwards. The switch controls the plug.

The 4 wires are as follows.
Pin 1, Orn/Red - Switched (Acc. Switch)
Pin 2, Red/Yel - Brake Light
Pin 3, Orn - 12 Volt switched (Ign.)
Pin 4, Blk Ground

This maybe a dumb question but, why is there a brake light wire in the accessory plug?

That way if you want to add extra brake lights in addition to running lights, you have a wire ready.
