First check if bulbs and fuses are good and see if the back lights come on when you turn on the lights. If everything works and the bulbs and fuses are good then its most likely the brake switch on your brake pedal, its usually the only thing wired to the brake pedal. If its not that you might have a short somewhere but usually its either fuses or the brake switch, both are cheap and easy to change.

I had this same problem with a 91, on mine it was the caliper slides, which allow the brakes to self-adjust.I was able free them up with penatrating oil and then work them back and forth until they worked on their own.The slides are where the mounting bolts go through the calipers. Hope this helps Good Luck.
