Default Brake Light Stuck On

Would anyone know why my Brake light is stuck on? It just started not too long ago and I have no idea why it started. And just in case you're wondering, the e brake isn't on

I'm guessing something shorted out but I don't know where to start looking

if its not stuck its probably damaged internally, if you unplug the switch and the lights turn off then plug it back in and they come back on replace the switch because it has a short

what year is the xj ? I agree more than likely its the Brake switch behind the petal. If its a renix system might be something else.
