Brake lights could stay on in a 1999 Dodge Stratus because of a short in the wiring. If the headlamps are off and the brake lights are still on, check the wiring for the brake lights that is inside the trunk. Sometimes cargo in the trunk can interfere with the lights.
If the brake lights stay on that probably means the switch on the brake pedal that activates them is defective.
check the brake light switch
The brake relay switch is bad.
Bad brake switch
