Default Brake proportioning/combination valve?

The brake light on the dash of my 1995 3.4L V6 has been on ever since I had the rear end swapped a year or two ago. The brakes stop/feel fine. When I unplug the plug in the picture, the brake light goes off. What is the correct name for this part? Where do I find another one? Could this be why my brake light is always on?

to reset the brake light push on the brake peddle very hard, hard as you can.

Thanks for your reply craby. Pushing on the brake pedal didn't work, but I did finally get the light to go off. I decided I wanted to change the brake fluid, so I sucked out as much as I could from the master cylinder with a turkey baster, and then I bled each brake starting with the abs module under the hood. After I did this, the brake light was gone! Took it for a short test drive and the brakes feel great! I'm not sure if I reset the proportioning valve by doing this or if there was just some air in one of the lines, but the light is off and I'm happy.
