Or is it the brake on/off switch making intermittant contact at that point of the brake pedal? But first off, check the grounds under the dash. There's that circular ground on the wall under the dash by the driver's left shin... Just forward of the fuse panel with a bunch of female push on connectors grounding many of the dashboard things, maybe you want to pull it off, sandpaper the back and tighten it back on... Could help, couldn't hurt unless you poke yourself with the screw-driver.
