crawl up under your dashboard UPSIDE DOWN with a flashlight.. follow the arm of the brake pedal all the way up to the connector bolt on the firewall. along that path should be a spring loaded switch on a bracket with a couple wires going to it. If it has fallen out, your brake lights would be on all the time. if it has managed to get jammed forward against the brake arm, your brakes may not be going forwards enough to let the lights come on..

also, read this thread as well...
