These switches usually fall apart at about 200k miles this same way.
Sounds like you need a new one. Usually the first sign of trouble is
detached wires, meaning the lights never go on. Yours lasted longer.
Actually, the break light switches were extremely reliable back when
they were put in-- they're not often needed. A pretty easy fix.
