Brakelights always on, help please!

[caribeno]

The problem: the brakelights are on constantly even if the car is off.
What I've done: a search for this issue on the message board and found good info and have tried several things i read. I have replace all the bulbs, i replaced a pigtail which i thought was the issue...i've cleaned any dirty connections..made sure brake fluid is topped off...checked all fuses...
What i found: i found the little circuit board on the passenger side tail light and it was damp...i cleaned and dried it all up...the only light that doesn't come on is the third brakelight and the bulb has been replaced....

would i be correct in replacing the small once wet circuit board at this point or should i try some other things out prior to that? has anyone had the same issue before and was able to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

foreal , that dampness could have possibly messed it up. while you're at it , you could also check the brake light switch.

did you check the fuses under the steering wheel too, or just in the engine bay?

Look on your brake pedal...That usually causes a constant on brake light. Follow it up and should be a button like thing that touches it. Get someone to stand behind the car while you press that button in. IF the light goes out you prob need that lil plastic piece on the brake pedal. Most likely it wore out or broke to pieces from years of abuse. This happened to my friends DA teg. The lil plastic on the pedal itself broke forgot what it was called.

I'll definately look at that tomorrow. sounds like this will most likely be the issue....i will let you guys know what i find...again thanks for all that posted....

i haven't looked at mine yet, but i had the idea that maybe the switch has worn out enough to just need an adjustment. i had the same problem on 1 of my ole rides and i just adjusted it by screwing it out a bit so the switch was not engaged all the time. just my &.02
