USUALLY at the 'hidden' end of your BRAKE PEDAL a BRAKE SWITCH resides... much like a doorbell button.
As the pedal is pressed, the BUTTON (within the Switch itself)... 'pops out' and the Switch turns on = your brake lights turn ON. Note the two "adjustment nuts" in Photo 1.
IF the SWITCH is not positioned/adjusted correctly ~ the brake lights STAY ON. Many are designed to STAY ON if the switch itself fails... The hope is "constant-on" condition will alert the owner/driver of a brake system problem!
Please know many brake light switches may be installed at the master brake cylinder (Photo 2). Note: No adjustment nuts.
The brake lights will operate any time the brake pedal is pressed, even if the ignition switch is off. The most likely problem when your problem occurs is that the brake light switch, which is under the dashboard and mounted at the top of the brake pedal arm has slipped, becoming misadjusted and is not being turned off when the brake pedal is released.
replace brake light S.W ,remove out by press in and turn anti clock wise ,then pull out ,fix new S.w pull outer the adjuster first then press in then new s.w till adjust then turn clock wise
Hi, try removing the brake lamp switch wire which is located near the brake pedal then see if they go off if they do then your need to replace or adjust the switch o.k.
hope this help you.

It is probably a wheel sensor, have the brakes checked for wear you may need new brake pads, or the rotors may need turned, Also check your brake fluid level
if you follow your brake pedal up youll see usally a white colored plastic a plunger type switch it looks like a threaded rod thread it until the brake lights go off ,youre trying to push the plunger in,turn it just untill the lights go off,if it does it again its probally skipping on the threads and youll have to replace it
