Normally, there is a plunger switch near the top of the brake pedal arm. When pedal is up, it pushes the plunger in and opens the circuit - no brake light. When pedal is depressed, plunger comes out and closes the circuit - brake light on.

Try pulling up on the pedal - light go off? Switch may have slid away from pedal arm. See if you can push the plunger in - lights go off?

Or switch is broken in the closed postion.

Now, the above is for 95 -98 Winny but may still apply.
