Parking Brake light stays on

[tucsonjwt]

I have my parking brake properly adjusted, but the pedal does not return all the way to the rubber stop and the pedal assembly (about 1/2" short). This causes the pedal arm not to contact the copper tab on the parking light switch, so I have to lift the pedal with the toe of my left shoe to get it to contact the light switch.
Is there any way to cause the pedal to return to the full up position? I don't see any springs visible on the pedal assembly, but there must be one somewhere. I am thinking of bending the copper tab on the switch up to make contact with the low pedal arm.
