Answered my own question with a little "outside" help from a mechanic friend. For those that may run into the same problem in the future, try checking the 2 wires going into the brake switch connector (should be green) before purchasing a new switch. One should always be hot and the other only conducts when the break pedal is engaged. The connector may be the problem, not the switch. Thanks for the answers I did get ..
