Brake lights wont turn off!!

I had a similar thing happen 2 years ago. Found the remnants of the rubber bumper when I dropped the under-dash panel. I wound up JB-Welding a penny to the brake light switch tab to cover the hole. Cost me probably $0.03 for a fix. Just remember that JB-Weld likes a rough sanded surface to bond to.

Plenty of hardware stores sell rubber bumpers with the push through mounting nipple.... just like what was already in there. They cost maybe $.50 Now if you already have JB Weld $.01 is definitely the cheaper option.
