I had the same problem once on my 91 GT and it turned out to be that the connector, which is located a little above and behind the brake pedal had somehow loosen. The connector looks like the type which are used to connect to the back of the speakers.

Edit: Actually follow your brake pedal upwards and you should see two wires, a lime green wire and a red/lime green wire. The red/lime green wire, which is positioned below the lime green wire, was the one I took the old connector off and replaced it.

Check to see if ther is power going to the switch.
That will tell you where to start.
Good luck
