Default Brake lights stuck on

Hey everyone. My brothers got a 2002 grand cherokee 4.7 v8 all wheel drive and his break lights are stuck on when he turns his lights on, and don't come on at all when the lights are turned off. Any ideas on what could be the problem? I have an XJ and don't know a bunch about grand Cherokees.

If it's equipped with a tow package might wanna check the wiring/plug at the hitch, could be a nicked or broken wire shorting things out.
