Default brake lights always on

Just done from my wide body kit conversion the car looks great, after 2 days from getting the car from the garage I took the car for a spin in the morning and I noticed the the brake lights are always on.

Anyone ever had this problem? how to fix it? As you know the wide body conversion they have to open everything and they also remove the taillights.

When I had my Z06 rear quarter panels installed they may have took the tail lights out and let them hang down, but they never disconnected them. The wiring was never touched at all.

I would guess that there must be something else going on.

Yeah they disconnected them, but I don't think this is the reason. or maybe it is, thats why I posted here maybe someone can help.

Well, start with the obvious and check the brake light switch on the brake pedal.

I had that problem once with my old Buick GS - it was the brake light switch...
