Default Brake Lamp

I have Honda Accord 99. Recently Brake Lamp remains on all the time as soon as press brake padal. I can start it but as soon as i press brake it remains on till i turn it off. I checked all the ligts for brakes 3 in the back and fuses. They seems to work fine. Only thing i did before this started that I rolled my car little bit ahead on Neutral without turning on. Any thing else i can check??

This happened on my '93, turned out it was the brake lamp in the middle that burnt out, the one on the back window. But you said you checked all three so I'm assuming you checked that one too so I don't know that it would be a light bulb. Check your brake fluid, if it's too low, the light will come on. If that doesn't do it I would go through and check all the lamps again and make sure your e-brake is down all the way.

happened on my 98.....check all the wiring harnesses on all your tails, one of em is loose and not making contact even though your lights are fine (are lite and light up when brakes applied)......my sound system probably made it lose but after checking the harnesses and disconnecting and reconnecting some of them problem went away, hasn't come back on and its been like 3 mths already

'brake lamp' light wont be low brake fluid. that will be the 'brake' light that lights up until u release the er brake it goes out. that light is tied to brake fluid levels.

i have a spoiler no 3rd light in the rear window. im talking about the lights on the dash. one that says 'brake' only that is tied to the brake fluid level and the er brake. the 'brake lamp' light is in the gauge cluster with the gas and coolant level. that is tied to the tail lights the 3rd light u have and the spoiler i have.

check the switch on the brake pedal too it can cause the 'brake lamp' light to come on also.
