Greetings  
I am a new member and have purchased a 99 e580. When I bought it the  
wires going to the switch on the emergency brake handle were disconnected.  
I would appreciate your help with the positioning of the 3 wires (which wire  
goes to which terminal on the switch)

Thanks. This helps. The parking brake lights should be seen on the front panel gauges. Green wire, communication wire.
