What would cause the brake lights to stay on after replacing the stoplight switch?

If you follow the brake pedal up behind the dash you should see 2 switches. There should be a plastic piece about the diameter of a nickel mounted to the arm on the pedal, most likely it has broken and fallen out. You probably saw it in the floor but did not realize what it was. I fixed mine by using a round magnet out of a refrigerator clip and put it on the arm so that when the brake pedal is released it will push the actuator on the switch

I just had this problem. It turns out there's a plastic piece on the brake that hits the Stoplight switch. If the Stoplight switch is not depress, the rear park lights (stop light) would stay on.

More than likely, you need to replace the stoplight switch. It is not a diificult change. Look under the dash directly where the brake pedal comes in contact with the dash when it is not depressed. Press the brake and notice the little contact nipple that pops out. That is the stoplight switch. Replace that, and you are good to go!!!
