Lever stuck in park and no brake lights? update !

I did some searching on the forum and i found out that there is a little switch on the brake pedal shaft that operates the lights and release the gear selector lever. i went out and found it, its a little black thing. how do i fix it? i noticed that if i just push slightly up on it it releases the shifter but how do i fix it. Replace it?
Update- triedto play with switch and adjust it , no luck. went and bought new switch for 8 bucks and replaced. All is good. thanks

Does it just need adjusted so that when you push the pedal it activates?

I think it just needs to be adjusted. No blown fuses and the lights come on when I push it with my finger. How do you adjust it ?
