Looking at the wiring diagram it appears to me that the switch has multiple contacts internaly ... so one bit can easily fail and the others keep working.

If you have access to a multimeter, disconnect the solenoid, attach the multimeter, pres the brake and see if you get a good +12 volts .. if not the switch is probably goosed. If you get good volts then its probably the solenoid itself.
