My brake lights wont go off without me taking out the fuse. Why and how do i fix it?

What is your question?

I took the fuse out under the steering wheel, and now they don't work at all. How do I fix my brake light?

What makes this problem better or worse?

Taking out fuse.

How long has your 2002 Kia Optima had this problem?

Tonight an hour or so.
