O.K. I'm being lazy, and don't have a manual yet for my '74 Bay Auto. Which of the 2 (3 pin) switches is the Brake light switch, and which is the brake warning indicator, or am I speaking complete crap?

I have 1 switch, and need to pop that sucker in the right position. It's easier to ask here than trace the wiring.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Taa!

EASY they are both brake light switches! , working off Hydralic pressure from each 1/2 of the dual master cylinder
lack of pressure on one switch operates the brake warning light, if your brake lights don't work, then you have to test each switch (two people job obviously, to see which needs replacing, if that is indeed the fault

Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54
