To answer the original question, you can test the switches with an
ohmmeter, wires unplugged, brakes applied and not.  Each three-terminal
switch has a common terminal, a normally closed terminal that opens when
you apply the brakes, and a normally open terminal that closes when you
apply the brakes.
