When I turn my car off the taillights stay on and run down my battery to where I have to get a jump. How do I fix it?

Hi,

Is it the brake lights or all taillights? I ask because it could be a brake light switch or even a headlamp switch. There are other things which could cause it. There could be a short to power at some point. Let me know if it is one or the other.
