    If I connect to an "always live" circuit the brake lights would be

If the loose wire when connected to live circuit keeps the lights on, it 
means that the loose wire should be connected to the brake switch, and 
it goes directly to b/lights, not to the fuse box. The other connector 
on the b/switch should be always live (your red/yellow), and this wire 
goes directly to the fuse box. Red/black wire comes of form b/switch and 
goes to the six point (brown) connector behind dash, and form there it 
branches (still red/black), one side goes to b/lights, and the other to 
three point (blue) connector which goes to cruse control switch, so one 
way or another, you will have to connect red/black wire to the loose 
red/black wire, since it belongs to that circuit. Probably broken of 
from the multy connector behind the dash, where it branches to cruse 
control switch.
