1998 Ford Escort Manual 250000 miles

I got 1998 Ford Escort LX and I just got back from droping off a friend at the airport and half way back my service engine light came on so when I get home I turn off the car, lights and all, and noticed that my brake lights were still on as if I was pushing on the brake. I dont know much about cars and I tryed to disconnect the battery and reconnect it and the lights just came on again, I disconnected the battery again and left it so I wouldnt drain the battery. Dont wana take it in if I can fix it my self. What can I do?

By disconnecting the battery u cleared the computer memory
and u have to wait until check engine light come back on and have it scanned for code s
check gas cap make sure its on and tight

AS for the brake light u may need the brake light switch
check it its located at top of the brake paddle

good luck
