Should be on brake pedal under dash, could be brake switch is sticking or bad try pulling up on your brake pedal, if tail lights go off that's what it is, if not your switch is staying stuck in.

The brake switch sits in front of the brake pedal. Once u press the brake pedal the pluger is allowed to fully retract from the switch. Try pushing down on the brake pedal then push in on the pluger on the brake switch. You will need to have someone watching the brake lights while you do this. If they go out when u push the pluger then you will need to adjust the switch. If the switch cannot be adjusted then you will need to replace the switch. If the lights stay on then you have a wiring issue.

SOURCE: 2005 malibu where is the brake light switch?

There isn't one.  This car has a "brake and throttle by wire" system and the brake light switch is inside of that.  You have a bad brake position sensor.  Figure $240 or so at a dealer.

SOURCE: brake lights stay on all the time. tail light 95 mercury villager

Just had the same thing happen to our minivan.......went to the Nissan dealer, since the Villager and the Nissan are the same van, and they actually had the parts in stock. Tell them what is wrong and have them pull up the schematic. You need 2 plastic buttons that push in the holes by the brake pedal. It cost about $10 for the 2 of them.

Hell i just bought a chevy cavlier and my back break light is out...the light its self is on...its just the break light when pressed...

you don`t say if its both or just one brake light out.you say the light itself is on but not if you mean tail light or what.the tail lights use a different filament in the bulb than the signal light which is the same filament that the brake light uses.if the signal light work on the rear then the bulbs are good,if just one side works then the bulb is no good on the side that doesn`t work.if the signal lights work but neither brake light works then you need to check the fuses in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.if the fuses are good then it will be either a bad wire at the brake switch or a bad brake light switch,this is located on the brake pedal lever under the dash.

Your brake light switch is stuck. It is located under the dash, near the top of the brake pedal. Replace it with a new one.

That sounds like a faulty brake light switch located down on the brake pedal lever under the dash, or a damaged wire at the wire connector to the brake light switch. Here are some images of what the brake light switch looks like to help assist you.

I have a 1992 Honda accord EX , my brake lights will not go off. Ichecked the fuse it's good obviously! Do I need to check the brake light or brake pedal ? I need 2 fix this since it is my wife's car,...

There is a brake light switch that's adjustable. Try pulling back on the pedal, and if that doesn't help you will need to adjust the switch. It's located on the pedal arm usually under the dash. It's just an on/off type switch.

It sounds like your brake pedal switch is not working right. Are the lights on all the time, or just when you turn ignition off? If the former, it is bad brake switch. If the latter, you likely have a bad ground located somewhere in the wiring harness.

Most vehicles have the switch located on a small plate next to the brake pedal arm. Follow the pedal up the arm and to the firewall. Along the way you should see a plunger style switch that looks like the one that you bought. It might also be found inside or next to the brake booster under the hood.
