Hi

That is the brake bias warning light switch, they don't make them anymore and are hard to come by. You will have to search a wrecking yard for a good second hand one.

I looked around for one and had a difficult time finding one for a reasonable price. Junk yard would be your best bet. Last resort you can plug the opening and do away with it. Nice feature but not mandatory.
