Usually it's just the rubber bumper that pushes the brake switch has fallen out.

It should be your brake light switch. There is a little plate welded to the arm of the pedal that has a hole with a rubber stopper. The rubber stopper is most likely missing, or damaged. You should be able to take a flashlight and see the plate and the switch. If the hole is plugged up, you will need the brake light switch, if not, replace the plug.

SOURCE: My tail lights stay on when I turn car off

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.

Shift lock release honda civic 2008

Most likely you have a problem with the shift interlock solenoid located under the shifter. It gets its signal from the brake switch every time its pressed. If your brake lights come on when brake pedal is pressed, then you can assume the brake switch is o.k.

Why does my Honda's brake lights stay on when the car is turned off?

The brake light switch under the dash is compressed by the brake pedal when not in use, that should be the issue. You can check the voltage at the switch next to the brake pedal to verify voltage.

Where are the fuses located on a 1994 Honda Civic? My brake lights won't turn off.

I don't have a fuse diagram, but you may want to try pulling the connector off the stoplight switch above the brake pedal. If that doesn't turn the lights off, your relay is shorted and must be replaced. If the lights go out, check the switch to see if the button is springing out or just replace it. Cost is $20 or less at autozone.
