Got the high beam indicator working, now all I need is the brake warning light to work. I have no voltage to either tan wire(e-brake switch and proportioning valve)with the key on. also no voltage at the dash connector.Which wire from the ignition switch powers the tan wires?
Maybe I'm all screwed up as far as chasing this out, Mr. Muha can you help me? Thanks
Steve

The brake warning light tan wire supplies a ground to the light. Power comes from gauge power (pink wire to gauge cluster). The get the light to come on, set the ebrake, if it doesn't work, try grounding the tan wire at the ebrake with a wire to chassis gnd. The contact may be bad at the ebrake or your light or wiring bad. The other tan wire goes to the brake junction block sensor. It senses low pressure and provides a ground to the tan wire.
