You may have several different problems? As far as your brake lites can you tell if the brake switch is ok? It should be close to the arm for the brake pedal, there should be a button that is depressed when you step on the brake, the button should release when you release the pedal. The partsbook shows two wire connector at the switch, with the pedal released, one wire is hot, the other isn't. If both wires are hot, with the pedal released, you may have a problem with the switch. Does the highmount brake lite stay on, also?
If the CEL stays on with the engine running and your obd 1, 12 pin data link connector, you can check for troublecodes yourself. Connector a jumper between the A&B terminals, turn on the key, don't crank it, the cel should start flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes.
