Hi Giff, no talking about the rear brake lights in the back.
I'm going let StingrayL82 help you. I think he has fresher knowledge and I'm kinda jammed up right now, with a half dozen people begging for my attention.
In the case of the aforementioned #$@%#$% '90 Bronco, replacing the switch solved the problem. Age and repeated use cause the mounting bracket and internal mechanism to wear enough so I had to jam the pedal to floor to make the rear lights come on.
In your case, mechanism wear, in the pedal and switch mount, may be causing the pedal to sag or preventing the switch from turning the lights off.
As long as your brakes are working just fine, a light pedal return spring might solve the problem, at least until you can work out a better solution.
