My brake lights are on and my car is off. I have no idea what to do. I tried restarting the car and driving it around but that did not seem to work when I turned the car off.

Should I reset my brake switch? If so, then where is it and how? If there are any other ways to fix this problem, please inform me.

Thanks

The brake light switch is located at the top of the brake pedal under the dash. There are two wires attached and the switch is adjustable by undoing the lock nut and screwing the switch in or out as required. Check out the diagrams (Below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
