The switch is on a bracket over the brake pedal arm. The bracket has most likely bent upwards preventing contact with the pedal arm. Just depress the pedal and bend the bracket down a little.

The brake light switch may have come loose because the clamping ring nut backed off allowing the switch to actuate. I had this happen to me the other night and just re tightened the nut.

What he said - happened to me the other year, didn't know for quite some time! Get sorted quick as the heat build melted the lenses on mine!
