This might seem obvious, but you said you checked the tail lights. Did you check the STOP lights (which, of course, would require somehow holding down the brake pedal)?
Otherwise, it's possible you just have a loose / corroded connection to one of your brake lamp sockets, or perhaps a bad bulb. Easy enough to get access to the bulbs from behind (through the trunk access panels) and wiggle things around - with the brake pedal down - and see if one or more of your lamps goes on and off as you do so. If so, clean, burnish, re-tension, re-insert, and maybe replace the bulb. It's a common problem (one I had on my V70).
