Default Vince and Hines FP3 error code help

Hi guys,
I'm encountering a phenomenon of which, the brake lights lit by itself after I start riding.
It goes off when I depress the foot brakes or the front brakes.
I checked the FP3 and got the error indicated below : B2223 - Rear brake switch shorted low
I don't think the rear is the culprit.... but

I did a check on the forums, some say, its the relay, some say its the front brakes lever spring, some say its the front housing being "out of place".

I'm about the embark on an investigation, but prior to that, I would like to hear from any of the experienced riders how there who had encountered such problems.
Please share, thanks in advance!
Shade

Update:

duhz ... its indeed the brake switch located at the bottom of the bike.
Its toasted (As indicated in the error itself) Self explanatory, people like me tends to think too far ahead.
Nothing to do with the front controls or the relay.

I hope this helps to those who are searching for answers in the future.
