[Spridgets] [EasternOshitGroup] MKIII Midget Brake failure switch.... and wiring question

It's nothing more than a switch that turns on the warning light AFTER your brakes have failed.

I know there is a little shuttle inside the housing but not sure how to set it up properly as I connect the 5 hydraulic brake lines to it.
