I just had my 87 camry aligned with new tires on the front. They had to put in camber kits on all four wheels. The next day I noticed the brake lights stay on all the time. The only way I can cut them off is to pull the fuse. I don't know if there is any relation between the work I had done and the light malfunction. Probably not, I believe the lights were working OK when I brought the car home.
Any help would be appreciated as to how to correct and fix this problem.

Check the bulbs to make sure they are the correct number and are installed correctly.
Pull on your brake pedal toward the steering wheel with your hand or toe and see if that shuts them off. If not, then you probably need a new switch that hits against the brake pedal arm. If it does, then you have to adjust the pedal so that it sits firmly against the brake light switch.
If neither of these helps, then you have a bigger electrical problem. Check the wiring in the trunk all the way to the interior of the vehicle for shorts or damaged wires.
