Help broken wire, where does it GO

While taking off the front brake line that goes from left brake to right I noticed a
wire ( red/white I think) broken and not sure where it goes. It looks like it was in the same conduit that goes down to the oile pressure sender. Are there 2 wires for this or one. The wire with the push on connector is there and on and the gauge works. Is ther a ground that comes off this switch also?

I hope that one of these days I'll know this truck as well as I did my van but I had that for ten years or so.
I think by now I can take my front hubs apart and pack the bearings in my sleep.

I have the same thing on my 89 BII, been looking at wiring diaghrams for ever and still don't know what that wire goes to. I pulled my motor to rebuild it and every thing on the motor has wires where they are suppose to be.

I'm just getting ready to go out and check the rear brakes cause I'm still having that front brake seize problem.
Yesterday I replaced the brake hose on the left side plus 2 new (reman) calipers.
I also drained all the fluid from the master cylinder and replaced. Now I have to do the rears and hopefully the bleeders will loosen up and not break off, but that's not my luck.
OOPS,
Didn't say my morning prayers yet.
Anyway hoping the fluid change is the problem it kind of looked like coffee, very very rusty.

I had to replace both my front break lines and calipers about a week apart because the calipers locked up. My luck was not good on the rear broke the right side when I tried to bleed it, I just bought both sides because I knew the left would break also. Guess what it didn't but I replaced the cylinder anyway.

I am working a 95 ranger now with 4 wheel ABS and it sucks, air has got into the ABS unit and I can not get it to bleed out. Guess it will have to go to a shop to get finished.

Good luck
What year BII do you have?
