[V8] Stuck Brake Light Switch?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Had this happen on mom's first V8.  IIRC, there's a collar that is used to
adjust the switch and hers was toast.  I used a big locknut, like the one
used for the top of the front strut and solved the problem.  It might be a
good idea to reove the switch and take it with you to the hardware store -- 
or it might just need adjustment.
