240 Wagon breaks stay on all the time. 200 1991

Hi all,

I am a first time Volvo owner and need some help from the masters. My college car ( 1991, 240 wagon) has break lights that are staying on all the time.

When I turn on the car and apply the breaks, they stay on. When I shut off the car, they turn off.

No fuses are out, bulbs are all ok. I have found that pulling fuse 11 (rear window defrost and 4th gear) will make them work properly. I can't hardly drive without 4th gear though.

This car has had the wiring pulled out of the hinges and rewired through the back hatch.

I have ordered a new brake light switch and will dig into the dash to replace it.

Are there any other ideas that anyone has?

Thanks!!
