: LAWD HELP ME .... Break lights should be simple!

You folks have been my saving grace before and I need your help now. Getting my 65 Mali project near completion but can't figure out brake or stop light wiring. The prior owner had butchered into the wiring and installed a emergency flasher system. I removed and cleaned up / reconnected all and everything is working except brake lights. The OLD stop light switch is missing all but the original terminal plug in the (b/w) wire position. (Brn/O) has been reconnected but no leftover of the (B/W) as I can find. In looking at wiring harness in assembly manual it appears that the (B/W) from the stop light switch goes into the steering column plug no.4 position (opposite from signal side) however there is a wire already there leading into the main dash harness. Question is .... where should I goe with a replacement (B/W) wire FROM my stop light switch to get brake lights working. Hope this makes sense!

The brake light switch feeds the turn signal switch that supplies the voltage for brake lights (as well as signals)

Look at Fig 3.

Thanks for your reply but do I need to instal a replacement wire from the stop light switch location (B/W) and jump it into the signal harness in location of the 4th pin. Autozone diagram doesn't appear correctly color coded nor match directives of assembly manual?
