Yes, I am aware of that location, I was thinking perhaps that it looks like there is a round white "sleeve" thing that may in fact be on the wrong side of the handle...I will have to take a closer look. It may be and looks like someone prior to me owning this car has done some work under the steering wheel before.

I will keep you posted as I finally got the brake light switch today and will be putting everything back together.
