The connector slides up to remove iirc, then tip it towards you and it might be clearer :y

Have you tested the brake fluid level sensor? Could be an break in the wiring from that :-\ which might explain thed resistance results hand brake on/off :-\

Presume you have wiring diagram for it...

Ignoring the instrument ECU being able to control the light (hence it comes on when starting car), the diagrams imply that 0v is applied when either switch closes.

Thus, I would expect to get an open circuit reading across the switches...  ...although now wondering if not removing battery might have confuddled the meter
I did wonder if the switches were on the pos or chassis side of the bulb...

I expect there will be several bulbs fed by a common feed in the instrument panel (including oil warning light) so your continuity test would find a circuit through one or more of those back to chassis/ground/0v.

Presumably the ignition on 'lamp test' feature can be ignored because a fault would bring all the tell-tale lamps on at once. :-\
