First, if all your brake lights at the rear of the car are working
normally, then the module is fine.

If this is the "brake light out" warning light on the dash that's on, then
you should check the center high-mount brake light. Everybody forgets that
one.

If all your bulbs are in fact working, then you've likely got corrosion on
one or more sockets that is increasing resistance such that the control
unit *thinks* a bulb is burned out, even though it's not. Remove all the
bulbs to check for rust.

The brake lamp stays on after I step on the brake. It is a 90 Accord. I
have checked old postings. I have checked all the bulbs. Some suggest a
greyish sensor or a module. All I can find is a greyish connector very
close to the bulbs on both sides. I have traced the wires to the rear
back seat but can not find the 'module'. Can anyone help me with that?
Very much appreciated. The red light is there all the time, very
annoying. Thanks.
