Brake lights won't go off

I would be willing to bet that the problem is not the relay. I had this problem myself, and found the cause to be a broken plastic plug on the brake pedal itself. Start at the pedal and go up. You will find a hole, perhaps with part of the plug still in it. This plug makes contact with the brake light switch. If it's missing, the switch remains in the out/open position.

The plug is the best option though. It feels like a polyurethane bushing somewhat. It gets brittle over time and crumbles like a cookie left on the kitchen counter too long. But since the switch makes contact with it, it needs to be soft so it won't wear the switch prematurely. Plug is much cheaper than the switch.
