1999 FORD F53 CHASSIS BRAKE SWITCH HELP

Burned up my wiring under dash due to auxialliry BRAKE malfunction. I need someone to look at the wiring to the switch at the top of the BRAKE pedal (easy to see) and tell me the wire color codes (there are 5 wires on that switch). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. By the way it is year 2000 model 6351 National Tropical on a 1999 CHASSIS.

    Phil,

    I just pulled up your profile picture. Are you sure it is a 1999 chassis???

    Never seen a tag axle 1999. 1998 yes.

    460 V8 or the V10 engine?

    Ford didn't make a 1998 F53 model year chassis.
    Some RV manufactures did add a tag axle to the 1999 F53 model year chassis, because of limited weight capacity. 1999 Bounder 34V with slide was one. Ford improved the weight capacity for the 2000 F53 model year chassis.
