The sparking may just have been the current needed to operate the brake lights. As well as the sparks, did the lights come on?

You are already working in the most likely area, that the switch has failed. If it is not that, then check the wires in the boot and make sure that all the colours match up, nothing connected to the wrong place. Also inspect the wires for any broken insulation that could be shorting to earth, but the switch is still the most likely trouble spot.
