Wiring Question on Brake Circuit
I have fitted my stop switch and Resovoir and need to wire them in, the loom is a universal one from a kit car guy in the uk called Car Looms. There
are 3 wires going to the brake pedal, 2 the same colour and one different, and the same for the fluid level switch. Do i connect the 2 that are the
same colour to the same terminal and the odd coloured one to the other?
any help greatly appreciated.....

what exasctly do you mean by that?
the stop switch I assume is to operate the rear brake lamps.
the reservoir should have a cap - what is it from - some more info. would perhaps help - with a level swtich that light up a lampwhen fluid is low.
the two are not in any way connected.
to assume that same coloured wires in a loom and components fromo two unrelated manufacturers is a sure route to product lost of acrid
smalling smoke.
regaring the reservoir. search on here for the wiring but basically the cap has 3 wires - I forget the oclours.
1. goes to lamp (other side of lamp is to igntion switched 12 V)
2. connected to 1
3. connected to other side of low level switch - this goes to 0 V
so we have:
12 V ----- lamp ------ low level switch --- 0V
notice 2. - this allows you to take a wire from this point and wire it to the handbrake so the lamp is one wither when the fluid is low OR when the
handbrake is on - the latter shows the the lamp is woring - something you need to demonstrate at SVA.
there is a wiring diagram that explains is much better.
you should really figure out the cap wrinng using a voltmeter and then check loom diagram before connecting any wires.
