Brake light switch is on top of the brake pedal. It's either faulty or needing adjusted.

Sounds like the pull rod that goes across the car behind the heater could do with adjustnent. It has a LH thread at the passenger end and a RH thread at the driver's side. Slacken the 17mm locknut and turn the rod to extend it to take up the slack. Make sure you don't overdo it, or the brakes won't release properly.
