there is a brake light switch when the pedal is NOT pressed the switch is contacted by a plastic grommet that fills a hole. right now that grommet is not contacting when u let off the brake to turn off your brake lights. these dry rot and break into pieces on your floorboard. if u reach up above your brake pedal you can press the switch with your finger and it will turn them off. you need to put something in the hole where the grommet broke out. duct tape =-)

What did you do? Are you 100% sure this is not it because this happens all the time. I would grab a friend and double check. Doesnt hurt to double check before tearing apart the car looking for a short.
