Purchase a Haynes manual at Autozone or most auto supply stores that covers your make and model year. There are several wiring diagrams in the back of the book. It costs $24.95. Im sure you'll find the diagram you are looking for.
Check the brake switch located above the brake pedal. There should be power on one wire all the time and power on another with the brake pedal depressed. If there is no power with the pedal depressed than the switch is bad.
Also check for broken wires at the switch.
Make sure the bulbs are good. I have run into all the bulbs burned out more than once.
the switch or due to weather the wires might be damaged, but it's a short...you might want to check into getting it to stop stayin on as the brake light lights up with others in a sequence for diagnostic codes and troubleshooting engine problems.....good luck..shia
Brake light circuit goes through turn signal switch. Do turn signals work ok? Does high mount stop lamp do this too? If you disconnect brake switch, do the lights go off? Do you have trailer tow? Maybe that wire is an issue. I would check brake switch first again. Maybe out of position.
I think you need to adjust the switch.
Installation
Install the BPP switch.
Adjust the BPP switch. Refer to the procedure in this section.
Tighten the BPP switch locknut to 12-15 Nm (9-11 lb-ft).
Measure the distance between the brake pedal stopper and the threaded end of the brake pedal position (BPP) switch. The BPP switch height (A) should be 0.3-1.0mm (0.012-0.039 inch).
If the BPP switch height is not within specification, loosen the BPP switch locknut.
Adjust the BPP switch until the height is within specifications.
Tighten the BPP switch locknut to 12-15 Nm (9-11 lb-ft).
If you have checked all your fuses and the brake light bulbs are good then the brake light switch might be bad, it should be located on a bracket at the top of the brake pedal. when you press on the brake pedal it pushes this switch in to activate the brake light's.
Be sure to ALWAYS have more than 1/4 of gasoline in your tank, this may be caused when having it below that. Also having less than 1/4 could damage your fuel pump wich is an expensive part, so it's good on taking care of it.
