That sounds like what I did. I had two wires and the casing was the ground. I hooked them up to a battery and used the brighter one for brake lights. I used the power to the third brake light to go to the sending unit and then off to the bright light wire. Sorry if I'm too technical in my explanation, it works perfect. I also added a ground wire from the casing to my frame just for good measure, it's too hard to get back in there if something goes wrong.

Are you calling a brake light switch a "sending unit"? If u are then it is just a switch and doesn't need to be grounded. Send power to one prong and wire from other prong goes to brake lights thru the turn signal switch.
If u talking about a third brake light sending unit...read the instructions......

It's the inline switch

OK..like I said, hot to one side, other side goes to brake lites thru turn signals. Want a third brake lite?.. then just run a second wire off switch to third brake lite. Does that sound like it will work??
