Default Front Brake Light Switch Problem

I have an 06 Ultra Classic (4900 miles)&nbsp\\;with a break light issue.&nbsp\\; The break light flickers off and on going down the road and may even stay on for a couple of miles at a time.&nbsp\\; I bought the bike new in Feb 06 and other than adjustments made during the 1000 mile checkup, it has not had any maintenance done to the throttle/front break housing.&nbsp\\; I have sprayed some WD-40 between the brake lever and housing which seemed to help but it is still flickering.&nbsp\\; What is strange is that if I slightly pull up or push down on the lever, even though the lever is still all the way forward, the brake light comes on.&nbsp\\; Any ideas?&nbsp\\; Would replacing the swith be an expensive fix through the dealer?&nbsp\\; I know, that was probably a dumn question!&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I appreciate your help!
&nbsp\\;
Thanks
&nbsp\\;
Earl
