1998 S70 Parking brake light

Post by rnelson1020 »

Where is the electric connection/circuit between parking brake and parking brake light? I need to tie in to the hot wire for installing a DVD receiver. I have the cover removed from the parking brake but see no electric connection involved in the mechanism.

There is a microswitch back at the base of the parking brake handle as I recall. On the 850s it has a yellow wire and it might be the same wire color for a S70.
