Default Brake and parking wires pulled off light switch on 31

My brake and parking wires broke off the light switch on the steering column on my 31.

Where does the brake wire get wired to? If you look at the last line on the diagram it says it has "power regardless of switch position".

Damn computers. I'm not completely computer illiterate, but, I can't get the Model A wiring diagram to post.
Let me look agin to see just what terminal it comes from.
Actually the only wire to the brake switch is one hot lead, doesn't really make a difference where that lead comes from.


OK, it comes from any of the three [common] Battery terminals [power leads] on the light switch. Its the terminal fed by the yellow wire [ if original]

OK, I see the wiring diagram now. I didn't think of looking at it until you mentioned it Patrick.

It looks like the brake light switch goes directly to the battery post, so it’s always hot.
