Brakes problem
2002 Ford Explorer V8 Automatic 30000 miles

After two days of not driving, when I drove my explorer today, I noticed that the cruise control would not work and upon further checking, I see that my brake lights STAY on all the time. I had to disconnect the battery cable over night to keep the battery from running down. I beat on the little switch under the brake pedal, but that didn't help. Any suggestions before I have to go to the Ford dealer?
Thanks
