Check the brake light switch..located under the brake pedal rod…it's a little push button type of switch… see if it's pushed in and stuck in the in position.

The brake lights are staying on because of a bad brake light switch. This switch is mounted on the brake pedal cluster, look under the dash and just unplug it for the night, then replace the switch tomorrow, its easy to do and any parts store will carry it for less than fifteen bucks.

the brake switch mounted on the brake padal is probably stuck they are pretty common and really not to hard to replace. your fuse box is under the dash an the driver side i think if not there then on the side of the dash on the drivers side behind a little door
