I have a1997 catillac STS and have problems with my brake lights staying on. I fix the problem by taking out the fuse for more than 5 min. they stay off, only to reoccur 1 to7 days later. I have checked my brake petal by pulling on it to make sure that it is in the relief position. What should I check next?

 

Optional Information:
