Help! HWH Level and Park Brake Problem

Yahoo Message Number: 100664

Tried to get ready to leave today. Started engine. Everything worked perfectly. Went to travel mode, etc. I put it in gear, and took the park brake off for a second or to but did not move or put slide rooms in. Tried it again. Now when I hit the "air" switch, nothing happens, instead a red light on the HWH panel labeled  "Not in Park Brake" comes on when I press the "Air" switch so I cannot level (big problem). I can go into and stay in travel mode that is it. At times the slide room lights retract systems are also deactivated. I am assuming that I have a problem with the park brake switch? Where is it? Can they go bad? I looked at the back of the park brake knob, and there are no electrical connections, so I am assuming the switch is in the bay below the driver's seat. I am attaching a picture of what I believe are the pneumatic switches in that bay with my finger pointing to the one I think it might be.

Oh good! Well they don't show on my laptop. I banged on that switch with a heavy wrench and everything started working so I assume that is the switch and that is the problem. I dare not mess with it right now until I have a replacement since I am now level. Is this the kind of thing that can be cleaned out if I remove it? Is this a NAPA item?

If what I was pointing to is it (and I don't know that for sure) I bled the air and removed it. It looks bright and shiny on the inside. NAPA says they have this kind of thing, just need to cross reference. They are closed until Monday.
