Changed brake light switch but brake lights remain on in 1998 ford escort

Hi Demetris, I'm glad to help!

Sometimes but not always, the piece on the brake pedal that touches the brake light switch to turn off the light will get bent away from the switch so its not touching it. Check to see if it is touching the switch, pull the pedal toward you and see if the lights go out. If they do go out then 2 things may have happened. (1) The metal bracket is bent and not touching, which you can bend back into place. (2) Some vehicles have what you call a return spring that connects to the dash and runs to the pedal to pull it back toward you to turn off the lights. If you see a spring dangling under the dash, then you'll need to replace that spring. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Demetris.

I have a 2005 GTO and the brake light remains illuminated. I replaced the bulb and the problem remains. Fuses are all good. What could be causing the brake light to remain on?

Probably just a fault - get a maintenance check they'll plug a little box into your car and it will come up with the exact problem.

1985 Nissan Maxima. Brake lights remain on at all times.

Follow brake pedal arm up under dash, it should be there and arm pushes against it when pedal released. Not too bad to do, just getting there is the fun part.
