My money is on the V clip that BFREE pointed out. The same thing happened on my '08 heritage classic and the dealer didn't have the clip. I ended up cutting some clear plastic tube in half to replace the clip and it's held up for years.
ETA: the clip goes where arrow 1 points.

Thanks for this. It's weird because everything was fine when I stored it for winter. The light is stuck on just by taking down off the stand essentially because that's all I did.
Not sure what year or model your bike is. They used to have a wedge (V clip) in the front switch housing that held the brake switch in place. If that wedge broke the switch would move back in the housing and the brake light stayed on. The link is for a 2005 Heritage but might give you an idea about what I'm talking about. When you open the housing you're suppose to put a certain size wedge (3/16 I believe) between the brake lever and bracket so as not to put pressure on the switch which can break the V-clip. #9 in the diagram.
Well I have a new front switch soldered in and I'm in the process of installing the new chrome front master cylinder and chrome levers. At this point the rear light is still stuck on but I don't have any fluid in the new master cylinder as of yet. Now my question is does the hole in the banjo bolt have to line up with the hole in the Chrome brake line fitting when tightening the banjo bolt or does the fluid just float around the bolt regardless of where the hole lands when tightening?
