90 wranger prob.
 

When I turn off my wrangler, the brake light lights up and stays lit...
Any suggestions???

It is a 4.2 5 speed.

Hi JD,
Are you saying your stop lights at the tail lights are on, or a
dash warning light, and only with the ignition switch, switched off?

You are describing the alternator idiot light that stays lit
because it's diodes are bad and the battery is lighting it running
backwards though it to ground.

Hi John,
Yes, and look for a connection between it and the battery that
could have been disconnected while the engine was running. That's what
pops the diode, or an accidental jumper cable reversal.

I would unplug it to see if the light goes out first.
