It looks like your old switch broke in half when you removed it. Just pull the spade connectors off the broken half of your old switch that's dangling there. Tape the brown wire back, and plug the other wire into the new switch, as Dave mentioned above.

Ok my question is will it act differntly if i tape that wire back? Like will it throw the brake light? Here is your answer from earlier in the thread: The two-connector switches short the two connectors together when a pressure imbalance is detected. One connector goes to the brake warning light, and the other goes to ground through the standard brown wire. The one-connector switch grounds through its threads into the body of the master cylinder. If you have a one-connector switch, just tape the ground wire up out of the way. --DD The single connector switch grounds through the switch body. The two connector switch grounds through the brown wire. If you have the single connector switch, you don't need the brown wire, so leave it unconnected. Also, not sure if it was mentioned, but that switch is for the brake warning light on your dash. The actual brake lights are activated by an electrical switch on the pedal cluster. |
