Make sure the brake pedal is engaging the brake pedal position switch. Will be under the dash along the brake pedal arm. That switch is the one that activate the brake lights.

    Brake lights turn off when car is off but stay on when the car is on. I checked the pedal switch and inspected the brake switch. Both are fine and wiring looks good. What else can cause this?
