check the adjustment on the brke light switch at the pedal. It may have popped out of the bracket.

You have to take the lower IP panel off under the steering wheel and have to look. The switch is way up in the dash - you won't be able to feel for it.

When the pedal is not pressed, the pedal arm depresses the switch. When you press on the pedel, the arm comes off the switch. If your switch fell off, etc. the switch will think your foot is constantly on the brake.
