Why do my brake lights stay on even when I am pressing the pedal?

1993 Hyundai Elantra. Just recently I discovered that my brake lights will not turn off. When I lift the brake (from underneath) just a little, the lights will turn off. But, when the brake is left in the normal resting position, the lights stay on. Is it possible that the spring that pulls that the brake up while not in use is worn out and that there is not enough tension to pull it high enough to where the lights won't turn on? If so, do I need to order that part from my dealer?

It sounds as if the brake light switch needs to be adjusted. It is located on the brake pedal leakage up under the dash.

Stop Everything! There was recalls on the newer types of of these cars and the problem still exists back then, before replacing the Brake Switch First is to check if your Brake Light Switch Stopper is not missing evidence of Broken rubber or plastic on the drivers floor is a indication. This is a very common problem with these types of cars and I'm not only saying Hyundai but also honda and other models has also same problem.
On the 2004 Hyundai Elantra The stopper is located on the Brake Pedal arm and if its missing the brake light switch will not turn off because the Plunger will go through the hole where the stopper was and not turn the switch off.

A quick fix is double sided tape and a penny but better to fix it properly get a new stopper and replace it than risking your life.

Brake lights stay on for my 1993 hyndai elantra. I already replaced the switch, could it be the fuse?
