rear brake and signals dont work

[Mudmagnet63]

1971 Bronco the front signals work but I have no rear signals or brake lights. The fuse to signals/brake was corroded so I pulled it out and cleaned it up a bit and front signals started working.after futher investigation I found that the brake light switch on the brake pedal is not hooked up the tabs for spades are broken off ( new one on order ). I have several wires that are hanging free under the dash and have ordered a color coded wiring diagram for the 71 bronco. Any clues on which wires go to the brake switch and to the tail lights. I also found a switch ( toggle ) under the dash that I assume went to the spare fuel tank? any ideas???

Look for a green wire for RH lights and y-bk for LH lights with brown being ground. The brake light switch has a red wire running to it with a r-bk wire running to turn signal switch.

I'm reading off a '73 diagram, this may or may not help.

I guess I should have posted this when I found it. This is a great help in the wiring if you're having problems.
