check to make sure you have enough brake fluid. that would be my first thought.

My mistake, the light that stays on is the in the taillight assembly. So I should have said the stoplight stays on. My apologies

oh.
that's better.

you have a bad ground somewhere. I would start by removing the taillight on that side, and looking for any bare wires that could either be touching the body of the car, or touching another wire.
