Brake lights will not go off

Hello,
My mom just called me. Her outside brake lights will not turn off on her 1999. Even with the car off the brake lights stay on.
From other cars I had I assume it's a bad brake light switch if this car has 1. IDK.
Suggestions on fixing it? I have to head over & at least take the bulbs out to stop battery drain & avoid a dead battery.

Thanks

unplug the switch at the pedal, if the lights go off its probably a bad switch. tests its continuity.
