The likely cause of the problem is a corroded or loose ground somewhere. A
wiring diagram would help trace the ground locations so you can check, but
start in the trunk.
The brake pedal switch is easy to test. Unplug the connector and check for
continuity with a multimeter or continuity tester when depressing the
plunger on the switch.
There is nowhither fuse box under the dash on the driver's side.
