Is it slow about turning on the brake lights....as in...it takes a couple seconds for the brake lights to work after pushing the brake pedal?
If so...it could be a worn-out switch.

If you adjust the under-dash switch to be very sensitive, you have a problem with the brake lights occasionally staying on.

Adjust your switch so you still have about 1/16" free plunger travel distance with switch plunger against striker plate.
Not much sooner or later adjustment, the switch contacts are either open or closed.
