The VW 3 Prong Brake Light Switch threads into the master cylinder and operates the brake lights and the dash brake warning light. It is a simple open-close circuit switch with power in and power out of the 2 parallel terminals with the third terminal powering the dash light. The switch is compatible with 6 or 12 volt systems. The brake light switch fits 1968 through 1977 Beetles, 1971 through 1979 Super Beetles, 1968 through 1974 Karmann Ghias and 1968 through 1979 Type 2 Bus models, 1968 through 1973 Type 3s and 1973 through 1974 Things. If you have a 1968 and 1969 model that still has the original, 3 brake light switch equipped master cylinder you would use three, 2 prong brake light switches. The 3 prong brake light switch is also occasionally used on 1980 through 1991 Vanagons and 1986 through 1991 Syncros.

The brake light switch is a simple open/close circuit. It does not matter which terminal is powered (input) and which terminal is output. The wire from the fuse box to the switch and the wire to the brake light bulb is black with a red stripe from the factory. Later models might have black input wire. On three terminal switches the input and output terminals are the two parallel terminals.
The 3 terminal switches have an output signal which is wired to the brake light warning switch light on the dash. It is a red wire.
