Did you install a Ford OEM Brake switch? it is supposed to be self adjusting. Did you install all the plastic washer? in the proper order? This old brake switches does activate when there is enough brake load so if the brake system has air in it, the brake switch is going to activate mid way down or even worse...

On my 65 Mustang I had a similar issue and slightly tweaked the tabs like is mentioned in this video. The idea he has for a shim seems pretty good to me as well. I think Ford must have used basically the same style of switch on many vehicles.
