Just unplug the two wires from the switch on the bottom of the master 
cyl (if thats where it is; 64, right?) and short them. If the lights 
come on the switch is bad (eg. it's not shorting the two with pressure).

I've had terrible, terrible luck finding RELIABLE replacements. They're 
all crap. I was buying the NAPA Echlin brand part. Crap, would last a 
few m onths.

I bought a Ron Francis Wiring brake light switch and it's worked 
perfectly for two? or more years. $20 though.
