You don't have a short.

What makes you think the switch and rubber stopper are fine? Give details.

Have you adjusted the switch position?

Unplug the switch. Do the brake lights turn off?

Does your car have cruise control?

yes they do and if i take out the fuse, also it does but its not hooked up or it might be taken out from the previous owner cause it doesnt work.

The switch is bad or the stopper doesn't press on the switch to turn it off.

Do any pins in the plug look broken?

When you plug the switch into the connector and press the switch button all the way in with your finger, do the brake lights turn off?

The switch or the plug for the switch must be bad.
