You'll have to remove the knee bolster to get access to the brake light switch location. To do that,
1. Remove the center console (pry out accordian-like plastic insert, undo two screws revealed underneath and the four screws that secure the front of the console to the sides. Also pull out the ash tray and undo the bolt you'll see behind it. This should allow you to push the console to the side).
2. Remove the trim piece beneath the steering column (two screws behind the steering wheel, plastic fastener from below)
3. Remove the three screws securing the bolster. One is in the center and is accessed behind where the ash tray goes. Use a 13 mm socket. The other two are accessed from the front and require a 10mm socket and long extension. Pop the hood open. One bolt is just aft of the fuse block and hidden behind some wires. The other is just aft of the power steering reservoir, also hidden behind wires.
Wiggle the bolster free and pull it out.
The junkyard is a good bet for a replacement switch, or call the dealer.
