Park Brake light

This question is in regard to a Mk2 Escort.

Can anyone tell me where/what the park brake light wire goes into. The Gregory's manual indicates its item no 15 - buy I've scanned the wiring diagram and can't see No 15 (where's Wally??).


I know the female coupling goes onto the connection near the rachet on the park brake itself and to get to the 'Park Brake' light its gunna need to get to a power wire. What is the colour & where will I find it (I'm assuming its something spare I've got floating around the dash or switches above the console).

    Your on the money when you say above the center console.
    Mine splits off the main loom around the indicator flasher box.

    The orange with green tracer wire is a very long ground wire from your hand brake handle to the combined brake fail/hand brake light unit. A red/green power wire when the ignition is on supplies the power.
