The late 80's squarebody's did this. The brake warning light was supplied with 12v when the key was on. It could be grounded, thus illuminating the light, by three different methods.

#1, the e-brake lever had a switch that would ground out that circuit.

#2, the brake proportioning valve had an internal switch that would ground out the circuit if there was a pressure differential between the front and rear brakes.

#3, when the key switch was in the crank position, it would supply a ground to that circuit as a bulb test.
