Brake lights stay on

[Tsuro]

I only noticed last night when i was driving at night when i pulled over that my brake lights were staying on. They go off when i reset the computer by leaving the battery disconnected for a while or by quickly flicking the brakes.

Any clues?

sounds liek the little switch at the top of your brake pedal is sticking.

I had a similar problem, mine was not the switch but a small plastic "striker" that hit the switch. It had gotten old and cracked, and wasn't hitting the button any more. Cheap fix, got a new one from the dealer for less then a dollar, popped right in to the bar above the brake pad, where the old one used to be.

that actually happened to my moms 1989 nissan sentra and we went to pepboys and got a certain little piece that fits up under the brake pedal for free and they even put it on for free it was so easy so if it ever happens to mine im just gonna do it myself now that i know what it is..lol..but yeah leavin it the way it is say while your a sleep can kill your battery..and alternator:hitwall:
