It's probably the brake lights that are remaining on, because the brake light switch is damaged or your brake pedal is not returning to the full up position. If your pedal is coming back up all the way, you need to replace the brake light switch. It is located under the dash and you should see it move as you move the brake pedal down and up.
See the link starting at about 4:30 to see how to replace the switch (the first part of the video is about changing bulbs). Replacing brake light switch on 2002 Dodge Caravan
Check that the fuse is not blown and that there is no wiring fault. Otherwise check that the lights are not blown as well, and look at the following YT video to illustrate the removal of the light:
That light is also tied in with the parking brake,with the key and light on pull up on parking brake pedal to see if light will go off, assuming you have a good brake pedal & not a mushy feel then it's doing it's job telling you have a hydraulic issue in the system.The switch for the parking brake is mounted on the mechanism and a single wire to it,works off a cam with pedal pushed down switch grounds the circuit.
Start by checking the fuses. The parking & headlamps work off the same switch. The back-up lamps are on a different switch,which is activated at the transmission.
