Anyways, I get into my car and drive home and the brake lights are on constantly and don't change according to the brake pedal being depressed. I get home and [censored] around with the car a bit and nothing seems to turn off the lights except for when I remove the brake light fuse. The fuse isn't blown or anything and I'm confused. Can anyone help?

Push it into the bracket until the button is pushed in. If it won't stay put, use needle nose pliers to bend the tabs in just a little.

That fixed it, thanks.
