Re: Brake lights come on and stay on when side/head...
Check all ground (earth) connections on all the lights, what is happening is that the headlights find a earth path via other lights and causes them to come on too

sounds like u have a bad brake light socket or the parking light filament in one of ur bulbs has blown and is now touching the brake light filament causing it ti cross power
It sounds as if you have a bad earth to either one or both of your rear light clusters. If it only happens when you indicate in one direction then that is the offending side.
Brake Light Switch
The brake light switch is located at the top of the pedal arm. It is the switch which turns the brake lights on when the brakes are applied. The plunger type switch is held in the off position by the normal position of the brake pedal; when the pedal moves during brake application, the switch plunger moves forward and the brake lights are brought on.
The switch is almost always the first place to look for the cause of the brake lights flickering over bumps or staying on without use of the brakes. If the brake lights fail to work with the brakes applied, check the fuse first and then check the switch.
As cadman mention to check the fuse, and if there ok check your brake light switch along the brake peddle arm. Before you doany of that, turn your hazard light on to make sure that all your light's are not burnt out. Good luck
