Check to see if your emergency brake is partially on. Also the abs light goes on when the sensors on the hubs get corroded from salt. They either need to be cleaned or replaced. Mine are on from corrosion from road salt so rather than pay the hefty fee to fix the issue until I can do it myself I just pulled the fuse for ABS in my panel to shut that system off. Perfectly safe to drive without them and not an inspection requirement. Now your abs is probably going on every time you apply the brakes and that is not a good thing!
The power goes from the brake light switch to the turn signal switch then to the lights. The third brake light circuit bypasses the turn signal switch. You would need to check for voltage on the light green wire between the brake switch and the turn signal switch, then on the wires going to the lights to see if the turn signal switch is faulty.
There is a sensor under the brake lever. Try pulling up on the lever to see if the light shuts off. Most likely the cable needs some more tension so the lever does not rest on the switch/sensor causing the light to lite up.
There is a shortage some where at the brake bulb and low beam holder. Take off the bulbs and inspect carefully those losing wires attached to the ends can cause the problem. Good luck.
Do you have a separate parking brake light and a "regular" brake light? Most vehicles only have one light, it illuminates when the parking brake is set, but it also illuminates when the system detects a failure anywhere in the brake system.
You could have a separate light for the anti-lock brake system (ABS ).
Your description of a light that is on till you apply the brakes is usually a sign of some sort of system brake failure. Start with brake fluid level, then inspect the brakes at each wheel, looking for a leak.
If nothing detected there, then you likely have something more serious. (Master brake cyclinder bad, possible something in the ABS brakes, etc.)
Others may disagree, but I would suggest not driving the vehicle (except to a mechanic) until this is corrected.
Simple fix... Just replace the brake light switch. It is located on the brake pedal arm about 6 inches above the pedal, it will have a plug going to it as well.
