Hello

I am replacing my stop light switch that goes srewed into the side of the master cylinder. It has 2 conectors, I am assuming one is for power coming from the headlight switch and the other connector is to the brake lights. My problem is I did not label them so now I dont know where to connect them.

On the brake light switch one connector is taller than the other, does anyone know which connector is the power, the short one or the long one? Please click image link to see the switch.

it doesn't matter which goes where, unless the connectors differ because of the length, the switch just interrupts the circuit, open or closed

This is the only example I know of where a pipe thread fitting is used to hold brake pressure. I am assuming that it is similar to the 38.
