Tail lights not turning off

So I parked my FD and walking off when I noticed the tail lights are still on. Car is of course completely switched off.

Tried starting and turning off the engine a few times, played with the pedals.

Finally turned it off by slightly pressing on the brakes. Lights went back on when I slammed the door close .

Somethings definitely loose but not sure where to start looking.

Your brake pedal switch is probably sticky. Cram yourself under the dash and check it, can't miss it, arm of the brake pedal pushes right against it

You could try a product call Electrical Cleaner, i believe its make by QD, it cleans and evaporates very quickly. If that doesn't work, replace the switch
