To wire a brake failure switch on an XB Falcon, first locate the switch, typically mounted on the brake line or near the master cylinder. Connect the switch's terminals to the brake warning light circuit, ensuring that one terminal connects to the power source (often from the ignition) and the other to the brake warning light. When the brake system experiences a failure and pressure drops, the switch will close, illuminating the warning light on the dashboard. Always consult the vehicle's wiring diagram for specific details and ensure all connections are secure.
