You can access the switch w/o taking out the knee bolster and/or seat, but your back may not be happy.
If it is the switch (and it probably is), be aware that the new ones sold by SAAB are slightly different than the original switch. The plunger on the new switches does not protrude quite as far. Since the plunger is pressed when the brake pedal is at rest, the brake lights stay on all the time if the switch is not positioned just so. You may have to fiddle with the brackets, which is much easier if the knee bolster is out. Sorry for the long story, but it's a potential PITA for what seems like an easy fix.
My advice is to get a switch from the junkyard.
