Brake light switches are usually attached somewhere on the lever of the brake pedal. When you depress the brake pedal this action in somw way activates the switch either by opening or closing a circuit. Because the lack of brake lights can cause some serious accidents, if your switch is "sticking" you should replace it immediately for your own safety and the safety of the other drivers in your community.

What happens if the anti-lock brake light and the brake light comes on in an 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue?
It is telling you that you have a problem. The anti-lock brake light is telling you that the anti-lock safety device is in the off position. There may be a blown fuse for that unit, or a switch to turn it back on, or it may need a mechanic. Look for a switch first. If the brake light is on all the time, you may have a cylinder leaking brake fluid. There is a switch that is thrown if the breaking system gets out of adjustment that way, that is if one side gets more break fluid than the other.

Without the bumper in place the switch post just goes through the hole that the bumper is supposed to be in and is never depressed and the brake lights don't shut off.
