Hi all,
I was looking under the fuel tank today and I discovered a cable that was wrapped in electrical tape and not plugged into anything, I guess it must have plugged into the second section on this brake cylinder but what would that be for?

Thanks!
Pete

2nd brake light switch

Is it a backup?
Everything seems to work fine with the brake lights but I was thinking of hooking it up again.
Could you think of why someone might disconnect it?

its for the brake fail light circuit, light on the dash that Oz cars dont have as far as I know.
