Brake light function

I want to wire in a new 3rd brake light does stepping on the brake send power to the black / yellow wire or does it connect the ground?

Thanks in advance

Sends power to the brake light. The outside of the brake light socket is grounded.

Yes, it appears to be the black/yellow wire. We have a pretty handy DIY article on installing a 3rd brake light which mentions where the best place is to splice one in. Hope this helps!
