Are you in Chicago area ?
If so then brown is your switched connection but before you do that double check to make sure.
And I am seriously advise you make sure you turn off the breaker on this circuit due you may have MWBC { MultiWire Branch Circuit } there.
Merci,

Bonsoir Handyman39.,
Do you have a test light with you if so read between the black et white and red et white also white et brown but I doubut it due that brown may be a faded white from older conductor { wire } and look at your switch to take a quick peek how it hook up and post us the colour.
Merci,
Marc
