Back in the early 1990s I ran into that very problem with my 53 Buick , a new brake light switch wouldn't live long before the contacts had become welded together . The bulbs and sockets were fine , and I suspected the new switches weren't built to the same level of quality as the original was . After switch #3 failed I wired in a 6V relay for switch #4 to control and in the few years I owned the car afterwards there was no further problem of the brake lights being stuck on .
