Well it may not be so far fetched. Let me tell you an encounter I had with this same switch.:

I came out into the shop to check something and found the stop lights on. I got in pressed the brake pedal a few times still the lights remained on . I removed the switch and checked it with the Ohm Meter yep it was closed.In utter disgust and forgetting I did not have a replacement i threw the switch up against a brick wall. Regaining my senses and realising I had to keep it installed but disconnected i replaced it in the car, just for drill I hooked the leads up and the lights were off got in the car pressed the brake pedal and they came on that was back in the mid 80's and I have never had any more trouble out of that switch.---Keoke-- :laugh:
