What year is your car? My '72 MK IV has only two separate wires going to the brake light switch.
But the 1500's DO have three wires: One supplies the power, the second is connected to it and feeds power to other things (like the backup lights), and the third wire goes to the stop lights. The first two wires should be the same color (green?) and the third wire is a different color. Do you have a wiring diagram for your car and a multi-meter? If not, you are making things difficult for yourself. The meter will help you identify which wire is which, if the insulation is too messed up to identify the colors.
