Check the brake light switch. It on the brake pedal under the dash. Remove the switch and open it up. Your contacts may be sticking or the spring May have broke or came out.

On a lot of cars theres a rubber stopper that turns them off on the brake light switch dont know if yours has it but get under there and in front of the switch there should beba hole where something was holding it. Also on the ground is usually the rubber stopper

Crawled up under the dash and the wite box with the wires that u twisted and turns the brake lights on has a some brake fluid in it gona spray it out good with brake cleaner and dry it good and see if that works and for how long

Hmm... I can't think how brake fluid would have gotten in there... you may have bigger problems... mine just had a little grease on it to keep things from binding up. BTW it's only $20 from autozone

That seems to be working for now...my slave cylinder has a little leak and i think its following the rod through the fire wall it was def brake fluid though. Thanks for the help
