    you should check your relay. trying taking that off first the switch inside of the relay might of went bad and it's stuck on the turn on brakes light like when you operate the brakes..

    No you're wrong.

    Look in your carpet, is there little blue pieces of plastic? Look at the brake pedal and see if the plastic piece came outta the pedal to operate the BOO switch.

    look on the top part of your brake pedal, there should be the switch, the reason why its stays on is because the plastic stopper got messed up(classic), u can either go to autoparts and get a pack or get a penny with silicon an glue it there, this will cause the switch to have a stopping point and trigger itself.

    A boo switch is a Brake On Off switch.

    ^^^Yep its the main thing I tell people is to look for plastic in their floorboard, but that is the easiest way to tell. Also easy to replace so GL OP.

    look at your brake pedal, there is a button behind it, and there should be a piece of plastic in between them. if there isnt, put some washers or a nut in between them. the same thing happend in my integra, and it would kill my battery everytime. i put a nut where the plastic was and viola!

    This just happened to me, the piece that might have broke off would be a little blue rubber(not plastic) grommet with a tip that looks kind of like the tip of a marker. check the floor board under the pedals for it, or check towards the top of the brake pedal for a switch like they said
