I am not allowed to answer in the forum you asked your question. I am not qualified to answer more than a handful of questions in that forum, but I recently experienced what you are seeing on my Club Car DS. It was a simple fix and worth checking if you are so inclined.

This is not the parking brake switch. Here is what it looks like. That "plunger on the right should click twice, once when depressed and once when released. Mine was only clicking one time. In my case it turned out just be a little dirty...
