Hand brake switch - dash light

The dash brake light for my hand brake stays lit regardless of the position of the brake lever.
I noticed that the lever had to be ALL the way down to get the light out just before it failed, now it stays on continuously.
Do I have a faulty switch or a short ?
If it's the switch,is it ***** to fix or should I locate a new/used one? if it's a short where do I start.
Thanks
Bruce

Same here...except I removed all of the parking brake hardware. I -may- have a switch for sale in the next few months when I disconnect and/or remove mine.
