are you talking about hand brake light on dash or actual brakelights @ rear?

if this is the light on the dash i had the same problem and it was the plastic seal in the cap had become inverted and when the cap went on it pushed the float down.

the other thing i have heard is the floats getting sticky and staying stuck down.
