Don't know your loom colours but the pic below shows the principles. Two of the reservoir contacts are electrically one. The pic shows that the wire from the warning light goes to one of the siamese contacts. The other siamese contact goes on to the test switch which is usually the handbrake switch (but can be a dash switch if you want) and then to earth. The remaining contact goes to earth.

Which wire your Red/Black is I don't know.

The wires from the reservoir are red/black, black, and yellow/black, the black and yellow/black have a wire coming from the loom labeled brake reservoir so I presume that's the earth and switch so it's just the red/black that is unkown
