There is a switch down at the brake pedal, It's most likely bad.
This is true. There is a switch under the brake pedal that probably needs to be adjusted or replaced. I have this same problem in my 1998 Mercury Villager. I have not replaced or adjusted the switch...not sure the cost or how hard it is to do. However, I have found that once you are in park, if the brake lights do not go off, I press down hard on the brake pedal and the lights go off.

I have a 98 Villager and I had the same problem. I found that the brake light switch at the brake pedal needed adjusting. Just loosen the lock nut and adjust the switch so that the brake lights do not stay on but only come on when the brakes are applied, then tighten the locknut. Worked for me. Hope this helps.

There is a bushing that the brake light switch rest against when the brake pedal is not depressed. They are known to break. You can get a replacement bushing from any Honda dealer for around $5.00. Just tell them your brake lights stay on all the time and they will know what to give you.

The brake lights will stay on if the switch is either out of adjustment or damaged. Pull up on the brake pedal to see if it will go out, if it does, you might be able to get by just adjusting the position of the brake light switch. BTW, it's on the brake pedal mechanism, under the dashboard.

94 dodge Intrepid brake lights stay on when car not running?
If the brake lights stay on when the car is not running on most vehicles, including the 1994 Dodge Intrepid, there is probably a short somewhere in the wiring to the brake lights. The first place to investigate this problem would be the wires along the firewall that control the brake lights. Also, check the brake light switch above the brake pedal.
