ABS light blinking and brake lights stay on???

Hey guys! New to this site but find it useful and looking for some info, I have a 96 F250 7.3l and just recently I noticed the brake lights stay on even when the truck and all lighting is off?? Didn't understand it and haven't had time to really look into the problem so I've been pulling the fuse just so it doesn't kill my battery. Today I noticed when I started the truck after replacing the fuse that the abs light on the dash is blinking?? Any info is appreciated and would help a lot! Thank you in advance!

There's a little switch on the brake pedal that could have gone bad. Follow the pedal rod up and you'll find it.

Diagnostic steps for the ABS light might be found here:
