My brakes lights on my LJ77 stay on even after turning off the engine.

I ended up disconnecting the battery and I'll look at it tomorrow.

This is new one for me, never had it happen.

Only think I can think of is the brake light switch on the pedal is bad or frozen.

Any other suggestions on what would cause the brakes lights to stay on?

Thanks
 
Fixed:

Switch was ok, it was the rubber/ceramic insert that pushes the switch in.

Weird set up, there is a hole in the metal bracket on the brake pedal. Not sure why the bracket has this hole instead of being solid.

Anyway, the rubber/ceramic plug fractured (old age and cold?) exposing the hole, so the brake lights were in the on position all the time.

Covered the hole with a small piece of metal and glued it in place.

Problem fixed.
