Help! Brake light problem

Can anyone help me please?

Had to slam the brake lights on on the way home today. Now the brake lights are on and won't go off. Is there any way I can fix this - have tried pulling the bulbs out and putting them back in to no joy.

How can I fix this? (have the battery disconnected at the mo to stop the lights running the battery down)

Thanks for your help

Chris

Could be the switch on the brake pedal ?

yer it is, just disconect it at the pedal and get a new one from dealer's! cost about Â£5. btw, has your light come on dash?

Thanks for the reply guys,

If I wiggle the brake pedal the light goes out. Dash light hasn't come on yet. No too fussed about it though. Selling the car on Friday.

Thanks again.

it is only the brake light switch behind the pedal, it happened to me last week, and it was fixed within 5 mins
