The brake light switch is either stuck or out of adjustment. Adjust or replace if necessary. It is located on or near the brake pedal swing arm.
Answermore likely, your brake fluid is low.
Are you talking about the "brake" light on the dashboard.. or the brake lights on the back of the car?? First, if it's the dashboard light, you need to add brake fluid or possibly change the front brake pads since the fluid runs low when the brake pads run low. Secondly, if you are talking about the rear brake lights, it could be because the little rubber pad that depresses the brakelight switch on the brake pedal when you let your foot off is worn out (has a hole in it) and the plunger on the switch is poking through the pad (which is mounted on the pedal). I fixed this problem once by simply gluing/taping a dime on the pad which made a hard surface for the switch plunger to depress against. Just look under the dash at the brake pedal and you'll see what I mean.
