I had the same thing happen on the brake lights on my 94 Integra;the 
plastic button crumbled from age and nothing was pressing on the brake 
switch,so the brake lights stayed on all the time.
I had looked under there and didn't notice anything was missing.I thought
I 
had to have the switch replaced,but the dealer put in a new button and 
"only charged me" $60.
(that switch was a bear to replace...that's why I took it to a dealer.)
