How to change a brake light switch in a honda accord? the lights dont turn off?

So my brake lights wont turn off in my 95 Honda Accord. I tired all the fuses in the box on the drivers side but could not locate another fuse box. I m thinking that the brake light switch is broken but I m wondering if thats easy to fix or if I get it taken in to fix is it expensive?How to change a brake light switch in a honda accord? the lights dont turn off?
The switch should be fairly simple to replace... You would need to remove the panel on the underside of the dash that is above your feet when you are sitting in the driver's seat... The switch will be attached to a bracket with either screws or more than likely some plastic holders, remove the switch from the bracket and unplug the wiring from it. Installation is the reverse. P.S. if you are unsure of which switch it is: the switch you are looking for under there will come in contact with the brake pedal...How to change a brake light switch in a honda accord? the lights dont turn off?

It can be a pain because they are usually way up in the dash as they contact with the brake lever. Unlees the contact got stuck I dont see how it can do that because they are only activated when the brake lever contacts it and that rarely happens that they get stuck but it can happen. It would be worthwhile for a mechanic to do it because it shouldn't be over 100 bucks.
