Default Brake light problem

hey guys, need help, i have a 99 civic ex, couple weeks back to of my wires that plug in to the brake switch got burned, i had no horn and no brakes light. i took out the dash and fix the bad wires in the harnse and attach them back. the horn and the lights work now, but the driver side indicator light comes on every time i mash the brakes.

i check the wires and make sure nothing is touching or grounging out. Anyone have had this problem or any ideas on what else i can check to solve this problem?

if you have a voltage meter, read the wires for voltage. if you come across one with no volts, that is you shorted wire or your disconnected wire.
