Can anyone give me any ideas on why the brake lights stay on all the time?

Down on the brake pedal arm, find the stop light switch, unplug it, if the lights go off, replace the switch, if they dont go off, you need to trace the wires for a short.
Or check the adjustment.
Clearance Adjustment 1. Both switches are located below dash panel, at brake pedal bracket. Adjust brake pedal height. See BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT & FREE PLAY . 2. Check clearance and position of switches. Clearance between brake pedal stopper rubber and threaded end of switch should be .01-.04" (.3-1 mm). To adjust, loosen lock nut, and turn switch body. After adjustment, tighten lock nut.
