Default Brake light switch trouble

I've got a hydraulic-actuated brake light switch on my Unique. The front brake master cylinder feeds a tee, which has a switch that screws down into the top of the tee. The reservoir is full and when I pulled the switch, fluid flowed out of the top of the tee. I feel reasonably certain that it's not the switch. I replaced it recently (the fluid level was low and there was insufficient pressure to activate the switch). I jumped out the circuit at the switch and the lights work fine. I put an ohm meter on the switch, it's not activating as I push the brake pedal. Anyone had a similar problem? The only thing I know to do is to bleed the front brakes, but they seem to work fine.
