I would recheck your wiring under the dash, you may have a loose wire under there that loosened up while you were replacing the brake switch.

Hey FRANK

Love the user name btw. They are a tough car to have for sure. Please recheck the job you just did I sure you must have bumped something or pulled a wire somehow. Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes to reset the security system,

Here is a guide that might help you.
