You need to adjust the height of the switch relative to the brake pedal. If
you look under the dash, you'll see that the brake light switch is attached to
a bracket. When the brake pedal swings backward (ie: when you take your foot
off the brake), the brake pedal arm is supposed to push the switch in (opening
the circuit), and thus the brake lights go off. When you push down on the
brake pedal, the brake pedal arm stops pushing against the switch, the circuit
closes, and the brake lights go on.
This may sound weird, but it'll make more sense when you look under the dash.
When you adjust the height of the switch, be careful not to adjust it too far
out. You want the brake lights to come on as soon as you touch the brakes.
