when i turn on my head lights the brake lights come on to. The brake lights dont even flicker when i hit the brake pedal. I have unhooked the wires going to the switch on the pedal and the lights remain on. I have unhooked the hazard light contactor (if that is the name of it. It plugs in under the dash). Thinking that if the lights ran through the hazards and that piece was burnt out they would stay on, that did not fix it. I have exhausted almost everything i know to do. Can you point out another thing to do.

check light bulbs you have wrong bulb
check if you have replaced a bulb recent make sure it was the right # bulb!
if you have trailer wiring also check them
