Had this happen a while ago. Switch seems to fail in the off (closed) position,
is mounted near top of brake pedal arm, fixed to a brace beneath the cowl.
Pressing the brake pedal allows switch to open, completing brake circuit.
Somewhat of a b*itch to get to, and make sure you get the brake arm retraction
spring re-mounted properly.
