Default "brake light" problem

first i noticed my "brake light" symbol was on and that i had blown a bulb in the rear passenger side brake light, so i changed the bulb and checked to make sure it worked, everything worked fine except the "brake light" light was still on so i double ckecked and they were still working. so i drove off noticing that the light went away everytime i would brake, but then come back when i released the brakes along with an annoying beep. can anybody help. 99 a6 2.8q

Make sure you have the proper bulb in your car.

If your brake lights are always ON then you should replace the brake light switch
