Some time ago when releasing the ER brake, the pedal seemed to come up further than normal with a thunk, & brake light stayed on. Pushed pedal back down, pulled release handle & with foot I controlled the pedal's upward release & saw that the brake light went out, but came back on when the pedal reached max up (off) limit. So, did that again & stopped pedal just before full up position; at that position the e-brake was off (car rolled effortlessly) & light stayed off. Back home I noticed what appeared to be a small rubber stopper with a broken portion lying on floor under e-pedal. Can't really tell, but looks like it supposed to fit/keep part of e-brake pedal from slamming against a fixed portion, serving as a small bumper to keep it from "clunking". But can't really tell if that's where the found part fits, or how. Not a problem until recently. The brakes & e-brake work fine, but that darn brake light stays on all the time regardless of e-brake setting. I don't see one, but there must be some kind of pin switch in/near the assembly that is sticking, or something. Any experience with this, how to fix the light problem?
Tried to explain to give a clear picture...Thanks.
 
There is a rubber stop for the pedal when released. In this picture the park brake pedal is down a bit, arrow points to rubber stop, can see the clean area below it on the pedal arm where it hits.

The switch is at the top center of pic, single tan/wht wire going to the black connector.
