Well I figured out the problem. The negative terminal on the battery was not making good contact due to corrosion build up. Cleaned the terminal and the lights went out. It appears that a poor connection resulted in the lights staying on.
If you are talking about the dash indicator light, it should go out if all the brake lights are functioning properly. Don't forget the brake light in the rear window.
it is an indicator. You need to check your brake fluid or your bulb.
Brake lights draw their energy from the vehicle's battery.
Defective or misaligned brake light switch.
The brake light switch is stuck or out of adjustment. If it is a mechanical switch it is located somewhere on the brake pedal swing arm. If it is a pressure switch it is located near the Master Cylinder.
I had a similar situation with my 2000 Accord. The brake, battery, and door lights all came on and stayed on. I did a little research online and then called my dealer's service department to verify. There are two possibilities; the alternator or the battery. I could be as simple as needing to clean your battery terminal posts. I popped my hood and found a lovely shade of blue-green coating my connection. I cleaned it off and the lights went out. I probably need a new battery soon, but my lights went off!
This issue could mean that the fuse on the indicator light is blown. This could also mean that the brake fluid is low on the vehicle.
the connection between the battery and the brake lights
It means one of your rear brake lights are out. Not the tailights but the brake light(s).
Adjust or replace the brake light switch.
Go to auto zone and have the altermator checked out.
It is important to pay attention to the warning lights on the dashboard. When the ABS and brake lights flask that means there is something wrong with the brake system.
