Are you talking about the switch that brings on the brake light?

There's two wires on the 1k correct? I'm guessing you tried switching them? If yes then make sure it's not the rear brake that is stuck keeping the light on. Ask me how I know. :)

It's not impossible for the front switch to be frozen - just far more LIKELY to be the rear. With the front leads disconnected, is the brake light on?

BT,
no you do not we have all gone a step too far with something and landed in the "soup", I will repeat my wife's plea for a picture of the bits & I will print it and try and figure it out for you.
