Default Rear Tail Light Problem

Well I went out to the garage this morning and I see that my brake lights are on. So I think that really wierd so I mash on the petal a bit and the lights stay on. I take out the fuse for the rear lights and they are still on. So I am dumb founded. I had to disconnect the tail lights to make them turn off and by that time the light in my spoiler had burnt through the plastic red cover. ARG. Any suggestions on what I could do to fix it.

Thanx
Windy

When I put my crx back together, I had the same problem. The remedy is simple. On the pedal where the actual brakelight switch is (way up on the arm of the pedal) there is a square with a rubber plug through it. This plug is what pushes the switch in, shutting off the signal to the lights.

I found my plug on the floor in 2 pieces so I couldn't reuse it, so I JB welded a penny over the whole so that the switch can be pushed in. I imagine that the plug is there for vibration or whatever, but it makes no sense that it goes through the arm.
