Default Front brake light switch?????

A buddy of mine called yesterday and asked if i would help him today figure out what went wrong. He has an 02 ultra and was installing chrome switch housings. He says that now his brake light is on when he isnt even touching the bars. I say you broke the switch, then he tells me that if he just barely pulls the lever that the light goes out then he pulls a little more and it comes back on????? Is that how a bad switch acts? I would think it would just stay on???

Probably broke the plunger. You can feel it loose inside the rubber bonnet when it's broken. If it's not broken, he might have put it all back together a little sloppy, but it sure sounds like it's broken.
