there is a switch mounted to the brake pedal that controls not only the brake lights, but also the ABS and cruise control. If you remove the steering wheel kick panel (5 screws), you'll find it easy, peasy to replace. You might try cleaning/adjusting it first if you can't find a replacement.

I changed my brakes recently. Calipers, rotors, pads. Now the brake light comes on my dash
