Brake light switch diagram / which wires are what?

I'm in need of finding out which wires on my Cherokee brake light switch are the constant on and the wire that has the power when the brake is depressed, if anyone knows / has it before I go poking around the wires to find one. Thanks a million!

The diagram I am looking at shows 4 wires into the "Brake Lamp Switch". If that is what you are looking at then the "PK/DB" (Pink / Dark Blue striped?) wire is the one that connects to the power source.

Here is a pic of the connector I am talking about:
