Where would the problem be if the brake lights do not turn off when you turn the car off completely?

One of the first things to check would be the brake light switch, it is usually located under the dash somewhere along the lever that the brake pedal is attached to.

What could be wrong with your car if the brake lights work when the lights are off but when the lights are turned on the passenger side tail lights and brake lights completely go out?
This is usually a grounding problem. Either an insufficient ground to the assy or a positive to ground problem. As you mention the brake lights work with the lights off, it will probably be related to a problem with the "running lights" system. As you mention only a problem with the passenger rear, I would check for a poor ground related to that light assy or possibly one of the bulbs' internal filaments in that assy touching each other. Or possibly a socket failure at that assy. Good Luck
98 Oldsmobile silhouette brake lights in back are not working but when headlamps are on all lights in back work what is the problem?
I would suspect a ground problem. Saying that, check the brake light switch.

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.
Would a bad fuse cause all rear brake lights to not work on a 2002 Dodge Stratus when all other lights work?
Yes, or a bad brake switch, a wiring problem, or bad bulbs.
What is the best place to go to get my brake lights installed?
I would say that Midas is the best place to go to. They will be able to install your brake lights with no problem. If you want to do it yourself, however you can go to Auto Zone and buy them.
Why on a 1987 Toyota Camry when the headlights are on the brake lights are always on but go off when you press on the brakes?
Any time you have an strange problem with lights it is a poor ground. Your tail lights are back feeding through the brake lights instead of going to ground. I would start by running a jumper wire to the tail light and brake light ground and I would guess the problem would be fixed. You might also want to look at your break light failure indicator. It commonly goes bad in these models.
What is the problem with the 2005 ford 500 all 3 brake lights are on?
i would check that the brake light switch is not sticking in the on position,and that there is enuff clearance to allow it to shut off when brake not applied
Why would the brake lights on your 1994 Corvette not function except the center high one which works fine?
AnswerTry checking your fuse for your tail lights in your fuse box if that doesnt work try check for a short in your wiringAnswerI noticed on my 1990 did the same. Also found out it only happens when the TILT wheel is completely down. Try lifting the tilt wheel up and down with someone watching your brake lights. Have not pinned down the source in the column yet, but will keep looking!!!The brake light switch is probably the problem. My '91 had the opposite - the brake lights worked but the 3rd light did not. The brake light switch has 2 terminals - one for brake lights and one for the 3rd brake light. Replace the switch.
