maybe it has to do with the cluster. did you re pin the cluster recently or install a JDM/UKDM cluster?

 

the braking light, not the one on the cluster, u kno when u brake, the light tell the other people that ur braking.. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, that kind of brakin light

Its most likely the small peice of plastic on the brake pedal that is supposed to hold the switch in when the brake pedal is not pressed.

That peice gets old and brittle and eventually falls apart. Take a good look down at your brake pedal and you'll see the little push-button, and an empty hole where something should go to push in on the button. The plastic "button pusher" is probably in little peices on the floor.

You can fix it with a nut and bolt pretty easily. Good luck!

 

Look at #13 in this picture:

 

Probably the Brake light switch which often works the opposite of a typical switch. Check it out.

i wish mine broke like that, but it's in a million pieces. haha literally

 

Any dealership should be able to order it in for you if they are still being made (I bet current pedals still use them). A small nut/bolt will work, a "speed nut" from an autoparts place will work. Some tape would work for a little while.
