It sounds like a relay or a problem with the lighting system possible the switch .What I can tell you is its a dead short battery to ground main power .

Sounds like you have a electrical short in the brake light switch. Finding electrical issues can be a bit tricky but I would start with the under dash relay you hear clicking when you depress the brake pedal.

You need to turn the bulb left or right about a quarter turn until the notches line up and then pull out.

I suspect you need to replace the lever unit.

I just put led Headlights in my 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier and now there is a clicking noise and the service wrench light comes on when I put it in drive. What could be causing this?

Yes. Led headlights can cause service lights to illuminate. The Computer may be sensing a lights out condition caused by the low power draw of the LEDs

How to replace 2004 cavalier headlight and liscense plate light

To replace headlight, open hood and there will be 2 -13mm bolts holding headlight, parking light and turn signal light. there is also a spring clip under bolts. bulb comes out from behind once you get the whole assembly out.
plate light is just below where it says chevrolet on the back bumper. There are two 7mm bolts holding it up in there, take out the bulb and take it with you so you get the right one. the headlight is 9007 halogen high/low. goodluck
