When I shut my car off the brake lights, including the third light in the window stay on. The only way to turn them off is to remove the fuse under the dash. Before the car will go in gear (it will start) the fuse must be replaced. The fuse appears to be okay.

I posed this question a few minutes ago and then realized I had used an incorrect email address (I just moved and got the new email address today).

Again, thank you for any assistance you can render.

Inspect and test the brake switch the plunger could be sticking or pressed by the brake stopper
