Thanks jrailer I changed the switch. Now the brake lights will not turn off even when car is off. I had to pull the fuse.[:@]

I had the same problem.
acutally mine still does it but only when i turn my circulation button off.
Im thinking that some where in the wiring that the circulation button wire and the emergency brake light wire are crossing which is causing the short.
