Hey guys I just swapped out my brake booster last week and bled my brakes 3 times already. Driver rear, passenger rear, driver front, and then passenger front. My brake lights always come on now when I drive or parked and won't shut off? Maybe my brake pedal height needs to be adjusted a bit higher so my brake lights won't come on? Tell me what you guys think!

there a switch that contacts a small rubber pad on the brake pedal arm/lever-on my car the rubber rotted away and the switch that used to contact it went into the hole where the rubber was-find something to stick in the hole and push the switch in to make the brake lights turn off

also if the brake rubber is gone the clutch/start switch is the same way and it probably won't be long before it goes too(mine both went with-in 2 weeks of each other) I think when my master cylinder went out brake fluid got on them and that killed them-but it's an easy fix
