Brake Lights won't cut off
So today as I was coming home I noticed that my cruise control wasn't working which was odd but when I got home I noticed that my brake lights won't cut off. I have spent over 2 hours trying to figure out what the problem is. I checked the fuse and that is fine. I believe I disconnected the wire to the brake switch but the light remained on. Just some background but it was raining today and I did have to slam on brakes at one point on the way home. I have never had the leaking problem and the floor isn't wet but I think it may have something to do with the slamming on the brakes. Let me know if anybody has any advice. I attached a picture of what I was looking at under the dash. I disconnected the wire leading to the blue thing which I believe is the brake switch.

but if you disconnect the wire from the switch shouldn't that cut the power to the lights?

Hopefully, these will aid in troubleshooting. I'd probably begin lifting leads one at a time to see what can be ruled out.

Firestone? I'll bet the guyz at Firestone don't know jack about electrical systems, especially the S197. I think I'd trust it with the dealership before I'd trust Firestone. I might trust Firestone to fix a flat or anything else with my tires but an electrical issue? Good luck...
