Fascinating circuit on the 1983 car, if you have what I can see here.

>From the switch (red/black) it proceeds to brown connector behind
the dash (T6b) and then to the auto-check unit pin 54.  54L (red/black)
goes on T10a - the connector on the left rear light cluster.

Fine.

But 54R (black/red) _ALSO_ seems to go to the left cluster.  It does
nothing but loop back out again (still black/red) and goes over to T10c,
the connector on the right.

So it would seem that pulling off or damaging the left connector would
disable brake lights on both sides of the car.  They also use a common
chassis ground, which seems to go back the same way.
