I have one last wiring glitch to figure out on my buggy. There is a little on/off switch on the dash, that is tied in with the brake light switch on the master cylinder. I'm trying to figure out how to wire it back up again after replacing a lot of the wiring. It looks like the switch on the dash, and the brake light switch on the master cylinder, are tied in with a strange looking box mounted on the firewall. There is a rectangular box about 1" high pointing out of it, and it looks like that portion can be removed. Would this be some sort of relay, to turn the brake lights on with a switch? What is the emergency switch for on a 68-69 Beetle? Does the switch tie in with the brake lights, and overide them? Thanks.
