These guys have got you covered...
I've done the same thing...
The front brake switch was the culprit...

Does replacement of the front brake switch require cutting and splicing of wires or just a replacement procedure? Thanks

RE: Why is my brake light on?

I opened the switch assembly and I see the brake switch,I can operate it manually and it doesn't look like anything is wrong with it.It's enclosed in a rubber case with a little round hole on the end,I think I will glue a spacer on it and later have it fixed under warranty.Will spraying some WD-40 into it help or will that create more of a problem? Thanks
