Default Rear brake lights always on?! why?

For some reason my car went wacko today and my rear brake lights are always on.. including my 3rd brake light. I took off the 10A Fuse that manages the rear lights but it still stays on as if it's always getting power manually by the battery. Just wondering if anybody had this problem before and what is the Green/White wire that connects to the lights connect to?

check to see if your brake switch is closed all the time
