Default noob question... back lights

Can someone help me out. the brake light in the middle on the window stays on and so do the parking lights. So it looks like im always braking. Any help to what wires would be messed up would be helpful.

Agreed. Very common for brake light switchs to fail.

Just replace it. It can fail in both positions. Stuck on or stuck off.
