I have had the same or similar problem in the past.
In my case the plunger on the switch had made an impression in the
rubber stopper that it is pressed against when the brake is not applied
(most of the time).
The plunger was no longer depressed (just the driver) and the lights
come on as if you had pressed the pedal.
Solution:
Check and replace the rubber stoper if necessary. (I put tape on mine
some years age until I get around to replacing it)
Check that the switch is adjusted correctly. The switch had a thread and
nut so it can be positioned at the right distance from the stopper.
If the pedal is not floppy then it is most likely not the spring.

Hi everybody,
Recently I noticed my break lights are staying on when I park. Could be
on when I am driving, unsure of this. I can tap the brake pedal and they
go off. My thinking is it is either the brake pedal spring or the break
switch. Any way to narrow down what is really happening? Any other
possibilities.
