I had this same Issue, There is a little Rubber Plug that fits on the Brake pedal Switch, with our cars being old that rubber piece goes bad and falls off, which causes your lights to stay on. its like a $5-$6 part from the dealership. If that isn't the case then the switch could be bad.(its a pita to put on so have patients.)

had this happen in my datsun, I taped a water bottle cap to the pedal :)

I used a short bolt and put a nut on the other end. Never will it come off.

Open the door and lay down with your back facing the ground and your feet sticking out of the door. Worked for me and I have a fixed seat.

haha yeah thats what i did shit was painful but it is hard to get a screw in there with a nut

[roel03]

What I did was I pressed the brake to give me more room to put the screw in and then just put the nut on. It wasn't too hard, took only a couple minutes and I didn't remove anything.
