My column is disassembled from the PO as well as a few other wires. Can anyone tell me what these are supposed to connect to? From schematic, I was thinking perhaps the brake switch? Still have connectors on the ends, not sure where they plug in though. Two red wires into one red, in a sleeve with a black wire. Goes down behind the fuse panel and meets up with other conduits.

Check out the wiring diagram in the Technical section. It has the following:

From my limited experience, it looks like those wires are on current tracks 58-60.

Brake light switch, yeah that's what I was thinking. Anyone know what the switch looks like or where to find it? Smile
