Default Electric Brake Controller

Hi All,
I am about to install an electric brake controller in my 98 Ford Ranger. I am a bit stumped as to where to red wire (Stop Switch) on the stop light switch on the pedal.
Thanks in advanced.
JOE

OK just had a better read through the Brake Control installation guide and this is what it says, "NOTE: When making the stoplight switch connection on Ford / Mercury vehicles, do not
connect to the red wire with green stripe. Connect to the light green wire only." So I am guessing the light green wire is the one I want?

So had another look...doing my final install in the morning. I see a green and green/white :s
Everything I read says green so I'm thinking solid green is the one.
