I drive a 1989 Toyota Corolla. I changed the rear brake light bulb 2 days ago and the fuse for that light and it was fine.

Today, the rear light wont turn off. When I brake, the light is on yet the brake light does not light up. Even if the car is off and I am parked and all the light turned off that rear light is on. I do not want to kill the battery so I actually take out the bulbs since it’s the only way to have the light offs. Please let me know what you think? Thanks!
 
remove the bulb and reinsert the opposite way - there are two small "dots" on the side of the bulb, one closer to the filament and the other further away, the bulb may just be in the wrong way (look inside the socket to see which slot for the dot is higher than the other)
 
sounds like it is your break light switch/sensor behind the brake padel has gone bad replace it and it will go off if it was bad had that problem with a few cars i have owned
