I went outside this morning and my car brake lights were on. The brakes were not being pressed but the brake lights were on nonetheless. I tried pulling up on the brake, turning the car on and off and fiddling with the blinkers but nothing made the brake lights go off. I didn't need the car today so I just unplugged the battery for now.
Any ideas?

You’re low on brake light fluid.

One time my brake lights would stay on until I pressed the brakes and then would go off. Almost got rear ended 3 times in bumper to bumper traffic one day. The only way I found out was a guy pulling up beside me and yelling at me.

There is a little plastic spacer between the pedal and a switch that has likely broken. Kia?

Very likely the brake light switch underneath or close to the brake pedal itself.

I think they are referring to the outside brake lights.

AI’s response based on your post:
While it's challenging to diagnose without a hands-on inspection, a stuck brake light switch, a short circuit, or a brake pedal sensor malfunction could be potential causes. Professional assistance would be the best approach for an accurate diagnosis and fix.

Depends on Year, Make, & Model
I've had a vehicle have issues with the stops behind the pedals.
Also had a vehicle in which the brake lights would stay on when the battery was low. They went off with a proper charge.

It is a Honda but there is something plastic on the floor under the brake pedal. I thought it was trash but I suppose it could be a broken part.

It is.
The plastic gets brittle and cracks over time.

Did you drive through water recently?
Posted on 12/4/23 at 7:50 am to chryso
That's it. Official name should be a brake pedal stop pad or brake grommet. Easy change and should be able to get part at local auto store.

I drive a Honda and am filing this info away for future reference. These are the things the OT has taught me over the years.

The pointy part of that is what looks like is on the floor. Any idea for a name so I can look up a youtube video of changing it?

Yup.. had this happen to an old Nissan truck 15 or so years ago. Part was only a couple bucks and was fairly easy to change… was kinda awkward and tight space
