    So whats next? Tomorrow I'll see what I can find the in pdfs. Isn't there a control box under the hood?
    I'd check the switch up under the dash. Look at where (or if) the plunger makes contact with the brake pedal control.
    Sounds like it may have come out of adjustment or fried.
    The plunger could also be stuck, you may be able to free it up with some WD-40.

    do you have dashboard lights? if they are out too, you probably have a short behind the drivers side headlight thats causing you to blow the fuse
