brake fluid level sensor

I installed a master cylinder from a 1988 Ranger/Bronco II on my 1965 Ford. Worked out okay and now I would like to wire the brake fluid level sensor to a warning light in the cabin. I see though that it takes a three spade connector. Assuming I can find the connector, which wires should I use to light the light when fluid is low?

Thanks

would it be correct to say the TN/LG wire is to test the light? The black is GND and the other one (can't see color) comes from the warning light in the 12v "run" condition? So I would cut the TN/LG?

The tan /light green is the key on 12v power. Then black is ground, and The other I couldn't make out, and that diagram was for a 2002 ranger, I apologize hard to research on a iPhone. But I do have a tip. Get the painless 2 wire low brake pressure switch. Less headache.
