brake light switch wiring

Hey quick question the two wires that come out the back of the brake light switch, what to they connect to? One looks like it goes up into the dash while the other goes for a foot or so and just ends. My brake lights don't work and ithink that may be why. I looked and couldn't fine another wire near where this one ends the PO was a wicked hack job and my questionis what is the other wire supposed to connect to? Thanks BTW if it matters its a 77 1/2 f250

Pretty sure one should come from the light switch and the other should run into the main harness coming out the fire wall onto the driver side inner fenderwell to a connector( think it was a green on my 79). From there to the frame and to the back of the truck. Hope this helps.
