Jay, I did a pretty close search in the foot pedal area and no sign of a mechanical switch.

Bruce, I've got two electrical wires coming in to the underside of the front of the master brake cylinder, so I'm assuming I have the hydraulic brake light switch. As I mentioned previously, I noticed some fluid (hydraulic, brake) seeping in the area where the wire terminal come in to the master cylinder and so I suspect that's the brake light switch and that it's leaking and most likely bad.

It's going in to the shop in the morning for a new title inspection and I'll ask them to replace the part prior to doing the inspection which should fix the situation.

Thanks guys! joe
