The rear switch is adjustable. There are two large plastic nuts that allow you to raise or lower it. You have to set the tension on the spring linking the brake peddle just right to make it work. I do not remember what I did exactly to adjust the nuts, but I remember lots of frustration and bloody knuckles. I remember removing the gray plastic guard and also removing the spring from the petal, and perhaps that did not help and was not necessary -maybe a wiser person will offer something better.
Since you lowered the peddle, is it possible the brake light is just always on at the rear switch. Nothing at the rear should cause the front switch to not work. Good luck!
