These magnetic reed switch are picky with bulbs. Check the bulb for
the correct type. If they're not the correct type any slight wear on the
filaments will set off the warning light. I assume the word "brake lamp"
is lighting up and staying on.

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.
