Don't change it... fix it. It nis located under the dash, easily accessible laying upside down: the brake pedal pushes it. It has a lock nut for adjustment. undo the lock nut a couple turns, disconnect the electrical connector, and unscrew it from the threaded tab. Once removed, you pry it apart. You will see two sets of contacts, one fresh , the other set rather toasted. Use an emery board to polish the toasted set of stationary contacts, and either flip over the moving ones to expose a fresh face, or clean them with the emory board also. Reassemble, and screw back into the tab. you will have the correct adjustment when the brake pedal tab just fully pushes the button all the way in. Reconnect the electrical...it only goes one way, and tighten the locking nut back up against the tab, hand tight . This is infinitely cheaper than trying to buy or find one ! Look up under the dash, along the brake pedle and locate the switch, Disconnect the wire and remove the switch, reverse the process to install the new one.
