Default f250 brake light

My 97 F250 brake light on the dash keeps coming on while I am driving and shuts off my cruise control. I checked to make sure the parking brake was off and my master cylinder was full of fluid but it keeps coming back on. Are these the only 2 things that activate the light? I checked the float in the MC by pushing it up and down with no results. Should I try jumping the float switch and the pedal switch? The float swith has 3 wires so I am uncertain which 2 to jump. Thanks for the help.
