Brake lights stay on
I have a 93 Prism and my brake lights stay on after the engine is off also. Paul, Did you get your problem fixed and how did you do it? Where is the switch/gromet located? Thanks.

On some vehicles there is a small grommet or pad that the brake light switch plunger is supposed to touch. Sometimes the grommet/pad comes off so the plunger doesn't get activated when you release the brake pedal.

Right on the money fellows! The broken grommet was on the floorboard and when i put my foot under the pedal and raised it up the lights went out. Its hard to see under there but im pretty sure where its missing from. Any suggestions on how to replace or repair it? Thanks.

Tow guy, After crawling in there i see how it works now. The only thing that broke off was the rubberish washer that made contact with and pressed the springloaded button in. I replaced the washer itself and its working great. I would have never figured out the problem without your help, Thanks!
