Brake lights wont go off, need help!!!!!!!

[DRFT24O]

I just pulled home and the brake lights are on!! I unplugged the battery on and off and nothing! I have a lot of errands to run today this is really annoying. What do I do?

Check stop light switch on brake pedal. When you put on brakes it causes the switch to close(connect) and the lights go on. It must be stuck.

theres a tab on the relay that turns the lights on off when the pedal is depressed or not .the plastic tab has most likely broken its not an uncommon problem. Check and see if there are little pieces of platic in your floorboard.

anyone have a picture od the said switch thing..... I would appreciate it.

it's almost impossible to get a picture of it. its like stuffed up in there.

just follow ur brake peddle up with ur hand and look for a little "box" it's a switch.. on the other side of it should go a little rubber stopper.. these things always rot and break off with time. I have had to do it on every one of my s13's (5 of them).. i started with jbwelding pennies on.. till i finally stopped being lazy and went to nissan and bought the piece.. like 1.27$ at my local dealership.

Yeah same thing happened to my car

I have two switches off my brake pedal for some reason

It turns out it was one of them

I just bought a new one from Justin @ Westco Nissan

Why are there 2 brake light switches and the stopper only contacts one of them?

[LayNLow]

one switch is for cruise control.
