Answer check the brake fluid, it might be low. Answer First make sure the master is full of brake fluid and no loss of fluid. If you have drums in the back, did you adjust them properly, spin drum by hand and adjust till they are a little tight. Next, if all that is good, it is possible that the brake master is by-passing. For that, you have to replace the master. Make sure to bench bleed first.

If the brake pedal sinks to the floor while you're sitting at a red light, the master is by-passing as allready stated above. Replace the master. Bench bleed the master before you install.

Where is brake light switch on a 1986 Cutlass?

There should be a bracket mounted on the steering column near the floor. This will have a switch in it that is a plunger type. When the shaft of the brake pedal is depressed, it comes into contact with this plunger and activates the brake light circuit. If you "ride the brakes", your brake lights will always be on because of the minimal pressure required to activate this circuit.
