Subaru Repair: 93 impreza 4 door, rear hatch, rubber boot

Question
The break lights will not turn off. I've changed the break switch 2 times. could it be the switch or is it the wiring. The wire that connects to the switch gets very hot after a while. What do I do?

Answer
do the light go out if you unplug the switch? If yes, then it sounds like it might be the switch, if no then there is probably a problem somewhere else. Is the car a sedan or a hatchback. If hatch back, check the wires that from the body the hatch by the right rear hatch hinge, under the rubber boot. Look for a broken or shorted wire.
