Default P0572 brake switch low code

I started getting this code: P0572 brake switch low, after I swapped out grips on my 2010 HD Ultra Classic that I just purchased. I had also taking the front fairing off to check for poor radio reception- to check for antenna cable. Could I have pinched a wire or not plugged something in correctly? I also took box off rear while checking antenna wire, would the issue be back there? Brake light now stays on and have no cruise control. I tried clearing the code, but light stays on. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks....I was able to find a video on Fix my Hog and it turns out the brake switch wasn't lined up well with switch. It was still intermittent when I lined it up, so I found a small flat plastic foot that was about 1/32" thick that helps fill in the gap. Maybe the switch is worn, the brake handle is slightly bent or switch moved inside somehow. Now it is working, but may have to replace switch in the end.
