Brake Lights Driving Me Nuts!!!!!!!!!
OK, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I CHECKED THE BULBS AND WIRING IN THE BACK AND ALL SEEMS GOOD. MY NEXT IDEA WAS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. I INSTALLED IT AND I STILL HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THEN I LOOKED AT THE FUSE BOX AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A 20 AMP FUSE MISSING IN THE HAZ/LIGHTS SPOT. I PUT A FUSE IN AND NOW ALL THREE OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY LIT WHEN I'M NOT EVEN HITTING THE BRAKES.WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. WHAT IS GOING ON? THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Not a tech ... 
Not 100% sure but check your brake switch to see if you didn't put the wire(s) on backwards.
Oh ... watch how you type on the forum boards, all caps mean you are YELLING or EXPRESING something. All caps through out the whole posting is hard to read.
