Default Brake Lights won't shut off.

I searched but no luck. This girl I know her brake lights will not shut off. Even when the car is not on the brake lights are still on. Could it be a fuse? Any help is awesome.

Thanks,
Slow

Also, have the bulbs been replaced recently? Do the lights go out when you depress the pedal? Any problems with the turn signals or parking lights?

check your brake fluid levels, you might be low.

Mine did this about 2 months ago. You have a small tab on the brake pedal that constantly holds a button down. When you push the brake pedal down, the button is released and activates your brake lights. The small tab on my brake pedal broke off. I put a bolt and some washers in its place and fixed it.

Patch, has the right answer...or use a flyer card from the strip club that you find in the back seat and fold it couple of times. Worked for me in a jam!
