Hello everybody

I came from germany and bought a mercury cougar 1973.
Now I have the problem that I must know what color the cable from the brake light switch has to the red plug at the sequential flasher goes. I think it should be the green cable?
Can someone help me please
Many greetings, tom

Typically, the brake signal switch output wire is a solid green wire throughout all of Ford/Lincoln/Mercury lines. This wire goes to the turn signal switch and then gets converted to the rear lights.

I have the schematics, and I believe what is being shown is junction C705. The three pins on one side are: light green/white, white/light blue, light green. The other side has two pins and a dummy pin. The two pins are: orange/light blue, light green/orange.
