To the brake lamp bulb in the dash. One is grounded, and the other goes to the lamp. When one chamber or the other in the master cylinder exhibits a pressure loss, the switch is grounded internally, illuminating the brake warning lamp to advise of a problem (as if the soft peddle and fluid everywhere wasn't enough of a warning;).)

Thanks! I was thinking about taking it off 82 model and putting it on 95. ABS might be shoot and $550 for a new one on an old work truck I paid $1000 for.

The master cylinders will most likely be different, thread and volume (size) wise. What's wrong with the '95???

The master cylinder should be less than $50. The ABS can be offlined easily.
